Hey fellow WP7 fans

I just wanted to ask, how do you find the signal strength on your WP7 devices? I've found that my Samsung Omnia 7 is not that great overall, it switches a lot between EDGE and 3G/HSDPA. Sometimes, voice calls also break up quite badly. I'm on MTN, and of course this could be network related, but I've found that this phone is generally a bit weaker than others I've owned.

My mom has a HTC Mozart, and that phone seems to have a much smoother and stronger signal, also on MTN. Perhaps HTC has a better antenna quality/design in their phones compared to Samsung?

It's the one thing that might push me back to Nokia, if they end up releasing the Lumia 900. Right size screen with Nokia's great antenna technology. That's one thing I've never been able to fault about Nokia, their phones always have had good signal strength.
 
I've got excellent signal strength on my Titan on Vodacom here in Joburg. Even travelling recently (CPT, Nelspruit) I had no problems.
 
I have not seen any difference between my WP7(HD7) and other devices. The only time I get EDGE is most of the time, but thats because MTN is useless. Can't wait till my contract is up in Feb.
