Great question. I'd love to see the GPS problems resolved ASAP on the Fascinate. Does anyone else also have a problem with reception? I haven't experienced any dropped calls, but on average, I never really have more than two bars? My old Verizon phone almost always had four or five in these same areas? Not sure if this is a false reading or just a poor antenna design.

On the reception issue, I agree. not sure what the deal is, hoping it is a misread or something that gets updated in 2.2. From the Razr to the BB Curve, nothing but 4 bars. Now I only get 2, 3 from time to time. Not really worried about it because I have had no dropped calls.

The bar thing is a misreading. I did a speed test with my droid having all 5 bars and the fascinate only having 2 bars and the fascinate came very close to the 3g speed of the droid.

I hope that in the next update they correst the signal bars misreading. So far I've had good luck with the reception, but it's nice peace of mind to have all 4 bars there.
