   This *has* be be bogus, there's no way in hell they'd suggest to move location or change the orientation on the phone.

   I mean i dont see what everyone expects them to do. They investigated it for months and the issue can not be narrowed to prove it is a hardware issue or a network issue. There hasnt been any consistent data to help them generate a fix. How do you fix a problem that can not be duplicated or narrowed down to a source? I have had my nexus one since the first week and I dont expirence anything that i didnt already have problems with my G1 network wise. This really seems to either be a Network issue or hardware issue which i would suggest you send the phone back to HTC and get a warranty exchange. They are really good and take care of their customers.

   Nexus One is a Google phone, but the phone service is (currently only) T-Mobile. Wouldn't this be something to take up with T-Mobile?

   An outrageous approach.

   We should all dangle upside down from monkey bars, since the phone works better upside down.

   I love my N1 but I know it has inferior reception to an iPhone sitting right beside it. I have read (but cannot authoritatively say) the HTC phones up to now have had reception problems, so I don't think comparing it to a G1 is a good benchmark. I am often in sites where I think I should have coverage but do not. I suspect it is a hardware issue. Otherwise google would have issued their firmware update. This should not be a difficult problem to diagnose. There are apps (e.g. antennas) that tell you the signal strength. For starters, how does it compare to other phones at various locations? If equal and the N1 still has problems its software/firmware. If the signal is significantly weaker its hardware? If it is truly a hardware issue then google should be: a) fixing it in their future hardware b) providing N1 owners with discounts on N2's when they come out

   I''ve just had my N1 for a week now. I ' m so disappointed with my N1 because the N1 network reception is very poor compares to my old G1 phone. My old G1 was working great inside Wall-mart store .My super Expressive Nexus 1 went dead inside Wall-mart store. It isn't the T-mobile Network issues. It is the phone reception components issues. I hope HTC and Google will try to fix this problems. By the mean time I plan to return My N1. G1 Network Receptions is far better than the N1. Never recommends any friends to buy N1. Sorry Google

   I have a G1 as well and I am extremely disappointed in the cell reception of my N1. It's a fair comparison because I am comparing reception of the two devices based upon use at the same locations. My G1 has far better reception at home, work, and around town. It's pretty clear that the N1's reception sucks. I hope the Nexus Prime solves all of that. If Google doesn't get cell reception right with whatever manufacturer they use I'll be done with the whole Nexus thing. I love Android, but the phone has to work. If I can't make calls the OS doesn't matter.
