Nexus One 3G Issues Continue.
The Nexus One, despite the recent OTA update still isn't fixed, so it seems. Endgadget reports :
Google's support forums are noting that the phone will drop a weaker 3G signal merely when held by the bottom, as the video below clearly shows. Oops. We're not at all sure what's going on here, but we're hoping this issue can yet be solved with a software patch -- things are going to get messy if this is purely a hardware issue.
Let's hope things get fixed, and soon.

More Nexus One Issues
According to Darren Murph from Endaget T-Mobile is once again having issues with their Nexus One units. It's reportedly nationwide. Some of the SIMs, when place in another unit, pull down data from the network. There are some customers who aren't having any issues at all.
Hopefully someone will figure out whats going on. I bet there are quite a few Nexus One users looking forward to that Android upgrade.

Google Nexus One at Walmart
Today's Nexus One may be the hottest keyboard-free Android smartphone on the market today, but it doesn't exactly have the hottest network support. That looks like it'll be changing soon thanks to Walmart of all places, which has put up a "Coming Soon!" page for the Nexus One, listing an impressive suite of wireless bands including 1xEvDO for 3G on Sprint and Verizon and UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900 for 3G on AT&T. Could this finally be the network-agnostic smartphone (or smartphones, as the case may be) that Google has wanted, or is it just a case of some optimistic web admin letting his fingers do the walking when writing up this teaser? We're leaning toward the former, but there's also a rumor of a $99 price when purchased at Walmart, and we're having a hard time swallowing that one -- if only because the Droid went for $188 there at launch.
I'm seriously hoping that this rumor is true. Can't wait to see the Nexus One on AT&t's network.
