Wonderfully constructive post.. I was just sharing what I felt was an informative and well-written post that addresses SOME of the complaints I see people bring up... namely, the ones which point out that their signal is not as strong as their wife's rezound or razr or tbolt or whatever... and again measured in dBm's... bars are a poor way to measure anything.
I don't lose data on my phone, nor have I had more than 2, maybe 3 dropped calls since I got it in december, and I also don't have any mic problems as others are bringing that up as well. I'm not shrugging off anyone's claims by the way, but I believe that's got to be a hardware issue as most people I chat with aren't having those problems.
Additionally... look.. I'm not some crazy blind defender of the Nexus. I love mine, I love flashing ROMs, I love the speed, I love the screen (mostly.. lets face it, it sucks in direct sunlight), and I enjoy pretty great 4G coverage all around my area so I don't experience data drops and stuff like that........ but its not without flaws. And one of the flaws is just that Samsung's radios are not as good as other manufacturers. That's a fact of life. Would you be surprised and upset because your neighbor's BMW goes zero to 60 faster than your Corolla? No. So you shouldn't be surprised that your wife's Razr has a better radio than your Nexus. Moto makes kickass radios... Samsung, not so much *shrugs*
