Looks like the mighty Nexus One has some spotty 3G connectivity problems according to a whole bunch of T-Mobile users who are flooding Google’s support forums. The problem reported seems to affect the cellular radio/antenna of the device: it doesn’t switch to 3G, or it constantly goes from Edge to 3G for no apparent reason even-though other phones with the same SIM work perfectly in the same spot. Strangely this sounds like one of the problems I’ve talked about in my HTC HD2 review and is one of the 6 main bugs HTC has to fix on the HD2. Are HTC’s SnapDragon devices suffering from some bad cellular radios/antenna (many HD2 users have reported bad cellular reception with their new devices)?
