Horrible reception with Nokia E70...?

Don`t know why the e70 reception is so bad when the e70-2`s reception is typical nokia excellent, in my view anyway. Difference being the 850mhz band or lack there-of. Don`t see why the 850 would matter in the city. No 850 in the city with t-mo. From what I`m hearing I`m very glad I waited for the usa version.
 
I think it's not the 850Mhz making the difference we are comparing here. Having 2 1900Mhz side by side, E70 shows it's weaknesses. I think it's something to do with the E70's reception itself.
 
But it must be the individual phone then. I`ve heard others say the reception was great and alot say the opposite. I can certainly see how bad RF would definitly suck. Don`t see how the differences could be so wide spread tho. Unless it`s where they were made for some reason. Mine was put together in Finland. I`ve had lots of nokias before, that were made all over and never had an issue with a single one. I would return any that didn`t perform to the usual nokia level of fabulous RF.
 
My 9300b says made by nokia. It has very good RF. Funny when it says made by nokia , it doesn`t indicate where. My N80 said made in Germany, my 6270 was made in Korea.............I guess made by nokia could really be anywhere. Mexico....maybe??? Back to the topic...How can any product be so inconsistent in it`s quality that its performance of some of the devices could be so unacceptable? I mean other electronics aren`t that way. If a formula/plan/diagram is followed...Plus the robots...MY GOD !!! IT`s The ROBOTS!!! They make the phone chips. There ya go...
 
nothing new for a nokia E70 -1 phone it is giving everyone problems thats why i got rid of mine in like 2 days of getting it coz whats the use of the phone that does not even have a good reception
 
n00b question, how do you know if you have the e70-1 or the e70-2?
my voice reception is great, but my wifi is really crap...the only place it works is at home...
 
Of course you're going to have lousy reception in the US if you have the e70 and not the e70-2. The 850 band is missing. My e70-2 on Cingular is top drawer.
 
e70-1 comes in both silver and black. if you press *#0000# it will tell you. you can also look on the label underneath the battery.
 
I hear ya. I`m sure I`d do the same if that were my problem. Right back to the seller for a refund for a defective device. I really got lucky I guess. My E70-2 has some of the best RF in any phone I have had. Now if I can get BB connect to work I`d truly be a happer camper.
