“Amongst those we know who have had’em for a day or two and who pay an nearly obsessive amount of detail to stuff like this, however, it’s pretty much unanimous: these early units seem to be having issues,” Kumparak reports. “The signal on one of the two units we received is all over the board, dipping from full signal down to nearly none whilst sitting in the same spot (and no, we’re not holding it wrong).”
Kumparak reports, “Could it just be the early units? Perhaps. Can it be fixed with a software patch? Hopefully! We’ll keep digging and let you know what we find out…”

Chris Ziegler reports for Engadget, “Signal strength was a major issue for all four Engadget editors who’ve been able to spend time with four different Droid 2s in different parts of the country this week. Symptoms include a wildly fluctuating meter while the phone’s sitting still, weak or no reception in places where you’re usually fine on Verizon, and a complete lack of data service (which was actually how we noticed the problem the first time).”
“To see our Droid 2’s data indicator flip-flop from EV-DO to 1xRTT and then disappear entirely was really alarming. We’re hoping this is something Motorola can fix with a software update alone, because it was nearly a showstopper for us,” Ziegler reports.

MacDailyNews Take: Smirk.
We await the Chuck Schumer’s open letter to Motorola’s half-CEOs Greg Brown and Sanjay Jha with bated breath.

I see you fucks still doing the circle jerk.
I think Moto, Apple, and whoever is next, may need to slow down a tad, stop paying so much attention to competitors release date, and extend the testing time prior to release. I’m aware of the business side and the board members only want to hear about release dates and margins with capital gains…. But gheez…..
The cost and pressure with a bad press release has got to be counter productive.

I lost signal will typing this lost- I refuse to put a zagg, or case on such a nice iPhone 4. It’s the best phone period, with one MAJOR flaw. (I do realize the statement I just made) I enjoy showing the superior screen, agility and swiftness of the menus, how responsive the touch screen is, sound, apps. And the sleekness. Then I show them how when I type my right hand ring finger is right in the spot that causes utter misery. Steve… We know you fired that guy, but ya still won’t admit that “shit happens” and own up!!
Bongo: I second that!!!!!
@ silverhawk
THANX finally someone else is tired of the many geeks and otherwise intelligent folks who don’t know how to spell ‘lose’ versus ‘loose’.
If you cannot spell ‘lose’ you are a ‘looser’!!
LOL… What a fucking shit phone!!!
I hope the press goes on about this for a month or two just like they did with Apple.
This is antennagate extra vaganza! You don’t even need to hold the phone!!!
Motorola must RECALL this highly defective phone since it has a MAJOR design flaw!!!
@ Crashpad
Really is that all you have to say? What would your mommy think if she heard you saying such things? Or would mommy encourage you to participate in the circle jerk? You obviously had it on your mind if you came to this forum of all places to display such homosexuality. Just admit to everyone that you enjoy dicks. Oh and thank you so much for your useful insight on the subject of this forum. I am especially impressed that you wrote the whole thing with one hand typing and the other fingering yourself. If you thought this was a “match making” site may I suggest to you “PcGuy” just a few comments above yours. Judging by comments alone I believe you guys have alot in common. You’re both ignorant fucks.
Hate to be Mr Agreement today…. But the comments were waaaay out there. You had to have something on your mind. Let’s keep it on topic. Who’s monitoring this thing anyway?
Moto needs to recall the phone. Apple needs to address any phone because it’s not all of them. And it will make the big boys accountable for the hardware they push.
