Using HTC Hero on Orange. Love the phone, but suffer from poor reception almost anywhere - even overground in inner London. You'd think this place is totally flooded with coverage, but signal quality (according to the indicator on the display) is often low, and sometimes signal goes completely. Worse in the suburbs.
Used to be on a Motorola V3 Razr on O2 before, and never ever had bad reception anywhere in the UK (except maybe in the tube).
Google shows many people reporting similar issues with the HTC Hero. Great phone, but poor reception. Couldn't quite figure out if this is a problem with the Orange network, the phone hardware, or the phone software.
Given that a firmware upgrade might be round the corner in a few months, I wonder what people think about this issue.
