NO WIFI OR BLUETOOTH after 3.0 update on my IPhone 3g

So I did the 3.0 update and now my phone does not seem to recognize my wifi and bluetooth. It is as if the hardware is missing. It is not that I cannot connect, it says "No wifi" "No bluetooth" and is greyed out where I cannot click on the setting for either. I have restored like 10 times and nothing. This is very upsetting. Anyone having this problem or have any suggestions for fixing it?
Thanks

Iphone 3g, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Same no wifi/no bluetooth problem here. These option are grayed out so I can't adjust settings. This occurred during the 3.0 upgrade today. I got an error during the upgrade, was redirected to an Apple error page. I had to restore the iPhone. Wifi still doesn't work. With this many people reporting basically the same problem, looks like we may have another gem from Apple. Makes you wonder about all those "I'm a PC" commercials. Maybe they should have "I'm a broken iPhone." I just bought my phone a month ago, just a few weeks before the new iPhone comes out.

Got my WiFi working by doing a phone reset (hold 'home' and 'power' buttons until the apple appears) and then forced shut down (because it FROZE at the apple screen). Restarted, put my ear piece in pairing mode and the phone picked it up. As for communication with my Intel iMac, it still doesn't work. Deleting the iPhone in the Bluetooth prefs and setting it up from scratch gives me the pairing password/number. The computer says the pairing was successful and that a port was created but on the iPhone I still have the spinning pinwheel and a "Not Connected" message. It all seems very "Microsofty" to me.
