First off, I want to make clear that this is the best phone I've ever owned. I love it. It is fast, very rarely hiccups, sexy, everything we all love about it. But, and this is important, my reception/data issues are driving me nuts. Over the weekend, it took the phone longer to pull up a podcast or google music beta than it did for me to install an aux input adapter into the BACK of my radio in my car. I had to pull the radio and thread the connection through the glove box. I kid you not, it took longer for the phone to find data than it did for me to do the physical swap.
How disappointed was I? Very. I have tried everything I have read on this phone including the newest radio. Now, the only thing I haven't tried is getting a new phone again. I read that there are a couple of different versions and maybe I'm hoping one is better than the other? I don't feel that it is the network either as my wife's Evo works great everywhere.
Can anyone think of a reason for me not to swap phones? Will Sprint store even swap it for me?
Thanks all. I feel a little better venting about this. Has been driving me nuts as I want to love this phone 100%!!
Edit for clarity: I feel that once I have a solid signal, I'm golden. However, switching from wifi to 3g, and or dormant to active data, I get crapped on. Grooveshark works great once it gets going. Google Music Beta (for the most part also).
