I have a Nike in the US and do not get as good of reception as my Touch. I am assuming it is due to the triband of the Nike and quad band of Dual. I spoke with friend at the factory and they heard of similar performance issues. Has anyone in US experienced this. My touch has excellent performance.

in the US as well. experienced the same problem. Last weekend, was in the movie theater with my gf. She owns the iphone. Her reception was full bar while my dual touch (nike) only had 2 bar.

as far as im aware of, both nike (dual touch) and elf (touch) are tri-band. says so on the htc site as well.

Have an EU version in US with ATT. No real issues with reception. Seems to work fine.... So far. had an HTC 2125 (quad band) before and the Niki gets about the same reception. I see no real difference.

Actually I noticed also bad reception compared to my i-Mate Jamin and Dopod S300.. Here's my conclusion: If i'm connected to 3G reception is often poor.. if connected to GPRS it's ok. for now I have set my connection type to GSM, works for me as 'm not using 3G.
I guess the 3G network is not as good as GSM.. sounds reasonable to me :)

Can anyone confirm my conclusion?

How do you set the connection type to GSM only.

How do you set the connection type to GSM only.

Start -> Settings -> Phone
On the 4th tab (band) you can select your network type:
Select GSM for Network type..

Thanks, I found it while playing although it did not help the issue. My touch has 4 bars in the office while the dual is non existant to 2 and drops quite often. I will check with the factory to see if they will have a new RF ROM at some point to correct or if this is an antenna design issue. Really like the phone but can't use due to performance instability.
