Hi all,

since Ive got my N9 its had terrible reception. Almost every call Ive made or taken has dropped out within 10 or so seconds. REALLY annoying!!

I changed phone carriers today to which made no difference.

Im in the process of clearing the device to see what happens.

Would like to know if anyone else has had problems with reception???

Thanks,
F2K.

I do not experience call quality nearly as bad as you do but I would say I feel the N9 does not get quite as good reception as my N900. I hear the wifi is weaker too but I have yet to try it.

Hi!

My experience is not as bad as in your example but it seems that as long you don't hold the phone in your hands (irony here the reception is good and on par with the N900 or the N8.
I've compared some phones on a location where the coverage is pretty weak. The result is a bit disappointing when you hold the N9 in your hand as it easily drops 3G connectivity where other phones like the N900, N8 and Motorola Defy+ just keep on working on 3G and the same carrier.

Ok that's wierd. On my work place where my ip4 gets barely edge and GS get good EDGE connection my N9 is pulling HSDPA with half of the bars and no dropped calls, something that ip4 did, didn't happen on GS.

That's in Finland using Elisa's network.

Can you please add your cellular/gps reception experiences to this thread
How good is the N9's cellular/gps reception compared to others?

Have you waited....
I believe it takes quite a while e.g. approx 15min+
