First item is an interesting issue...
Here at work I've always had less than optimal coverage, but enough that I get a mild 3G connection at my desk.
With the Vibrant, the 3G stays lit, no bars are showing, and if I go into About it shows that there is zero signal. This is with the phone laying on the desk, not in my hand.
But yet - I still get data flowing in and out...
I am thinking that either A) the signal bars are incorrect (I'm used to seeing 5 versus 4), or B) the 3G goes to sleep and wakes back up but the info on the about screen doesn't update.
Anyone else seeing anything like this?
Even with it showing zero signal I can make calls, take calls, and transfer data over 3G. Go figure?
Second issue is that the GPS seems to be about 40-50 meters off. Not a big deal, but interesting to have google maps showing me going down the road but looking like I am driving on the sidewalk - I'm not a great driver, but sheesh! LOL!
See post #3 for new item I've added to my list.
