I have noticed this a couple of times now since upgrading to PR1.1

My N900 will get into a state where it will not connect to the GSM or 3G network at all and the signal bar shows empty. I know that the area I am in has a strong signal. The device will happily connect to wifi and will talk to the cellphone network again after a reboot. It has done this three times since the last firmware upgrade but never before.

I know that this last time I had spent some time in an area with no signal but previously the phone had always picked up the network again when moved out of that area.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I seem to see this, strangely only inside my house.
I have 2G/3G/3.5G but all have a blackspot in my front room, sometimes the phone connection will disappear completely for about 5 minutes, no matter where I go (even to a full strength spot).
I am not sure whether my phone actually works here, and it is just the status icon not working or not.

Nope, the phone does not work when it's in that state - I usually only notice when I go to make a call

I have seen this with the wireless, it will be connected fine but wont get any internet until I reboot, not too sure why but it does it at home as well as work

its only happened a couple of times so no big issue really

That's happened to me a few times today, glad in a way that I'm not the only one atleast.

this happened to me too.

i had the feeling it happened after a disconnect from the gsm network (on the network side).
