Like most new phones, Google’s new baby the Nexus One is getting off to a rocky start. Numerous people on the Nexus One support forums are reporting spotty 3G service in areas that are supposedly blanketed with 3G. With the smallest 3G footprint of the big four US carriers, you can bet T-Mobile users know exactly where they can find that high-speed goodness.
Specifically, users say that the phone will switch back and forth between 3G and the slower EDGE data in 3G saturated areas. The more unlucky are reporting no 3G at all. Some users have even gone so far as to put their Nexus One SIM card in another T-Mobile phone to prove that Google’s new device isn’t connecting to the available 3G network. There are even some pics of other T-Mobile devices with 3G right next to a Nexus one rocking EDGE.
Just today we’re getting word that T-Mobile and Google have acknowledged a possible issue affecting a “small number” of customers. T-Mobile says to hold tight while they look into it. Anyone out there have a Nexus One? Any issues?
