Great work Google! In fact, why don't all Nexus One users just attach a coat hanger to to the device?

So basically: "You bought a defective phone, deal with it."

@verygoodyear

first gen hardware is, well, first gen hardware. I'm sure it will be improved on the Nexus Two. I've been using an N1 for months and have had no issues at all with my reception.

@verygoodyear

lol "move to a different location" as in... "hold your phone towards the sky!!!"
Outstanding customer service, Google, out-f'ing-standing.

@verygoodyear

Or you could ignore the Engadget FUD and see that people on networks OTHER than T-Mobile don't seem to be having any issues. But that would be sensible.

[verygoodyear Posted Apr 22nd 2010 3:45AM]

@Tes It's probably a compound of both issues. Whatever the case, being told to turn the phone sound or move location (!) isn't a fix.

@verygoodyear Useful 3g reception is not that big of a deal. Build a bridge & get over it. Lots of love, Eric.

@verygoodyear

How could it be a "compound" if it's not affecting anyone else? What is unique in the situation apart from the carrier? What is Google supposed to do to fix T-Mobile's infrastructure? If your internet stops working do you call Apple or Dell to get them to contact your ISP on your behalf?

My nexus one is great. It's an AT&T nexus one though. I suspect the issues are related to tmobile's network.

So it's not "you just bought a useless phone", it's "you're on a useless network."

@Jono20 - how is it "first-gen hardware" if it is HTC's umpteenth device?

[Jono20 Posted Apr 22nd 2010 4:24AM]

@Taylor Yes Taylor
Yeah mines on rogers with no issues, seems to make sense.

@Jono20

Oh yea, the 'avoid Generation One' line...

Get real.. It's an HTC phone with a great screen and funky design...
You think HTC needs to re-invent the wheel everytime they do a new phone?

I'm kind of baffled they're not going to fix this via Software update. Maybe cuz... Google specializes in Advertising on Web2.0 websites and...not cellphones?

[DC MIKE Posted Apr 22nd 2010 9:23AM]

@Wesscoast That's just like saying...

Automaker X has been making cars for XX years! How could the first generation of their new line of cars possibly have any faults!

Sorry, I never fly the first generation of ANYTHING.
