Poor 3G connectivity seems to be one big sore issue among Nexus One users.

A user wrote on a customer forum, "Don't have a "comparison" phone next to it, but I can confirm that the 3G signal falls in and out almost constantly. It moves between 3G and EDGE probably every minute."

TMobile and HTC have not been able to help." Google reportedly appears to be only accepting e-mail customer queries, to which it pledges to reply in one to two days. On the forums, Google promises an e-mail response within 48 hours, but offers no telephone service. Problems in using the phone's touchscreen and difficulty in returning back to the home screen. Google Nexus One features a 3.7-inch (9.4 centimeter) AMOLED touchscreen display.
