tried my uk 02 xda mini s on t mobile sim, there is one big difference, it works ok now with no bad hissing noises or backup, just shows how crap 02 is, 2 weeks of bad service, junking 02 Monday and getting t mobile.

Strange, I would have thought the network wouldn't make any difference. It's all GSM.

I have known poor reception on a few Mini S handsets, but it is much better when used with a wired or Bluetooth headset.

Maybe, it is a unit problem. Maybe not.

Whatever works for you.

I was using T-mobile Germany and recently changed to E-plus Germany and have not noticed any differences in the quality of calls.

I don't know where you are but O2's reception quality (as remarked, it should not make any difference with GSM anyway) is way ahead of T-Mobile's. I was with O2 for 2 years up until the start of this year and could use my XDA2i in a basement flat with no problem at all. With T-Mobile on a MDA Pro that doesn't work. Only reason I left o2 was because of that four-letter man Charles Porter and his staff wanting over £400 for the XDA Exec 'as an upgrade', which T-mobile offered me for free.
