Do you have problem with 3G or GSM? Which operater do you use?

I've been having some reception issues with Telenor in Stockholm when on GSM. I can make calls, but sometimes my words are cut of a lot on the other end.

I am on 3 sweden and have major problems with both 3G and gsm,just a antenna with the "walking dots" in the display searching for the signal most of the time.
Even sms fails and takes several resends.
Tried my card in my Nokia E90,same simcard same place and at the same time and voila good reception infact even 3,5G in that one.
So far the xperia is my worst phone xperience.

OH my.. that would be .. uhh.. gay?
I'm counting on X1's reception.....
thought is would be good.. at least that's what the review says..

"How well does it hold on to cellular signals during calls?
As I said above, I live in an area that's really poor for phone coverage and all the networks are bad. The X1 shows 1 to 2 bars of coverage on Orange where the Touch Pro and the Touch Diamond get no reception at all. Definitely better than the Touch devices in that respect but nowhere near as good as a basic Nokia handset!"

Is there any one else who also having trouble about x1's reception?

pretty poor reception here, but i'm running a proto so thats not exactly a good indication of final reception.

It's sporadic at best, sometimes i get a really good signal, others i get none. Mind you, I am on T mobile and they're useless for reception.

i have the same as you and im 100% sure your phone is probably locked have you entered a password in the beginning when installing the phone that you cant remember probably? because if you dont lock up the phone the simcard is inactive but you can still use the phone

Tre is the worst operator ever. I changed from tre to tele2 and my reception i much better, not only is the reception better but the best thing now is that my calls don't get disconnected even when I have good reception. With tre that happened alot.
