I agree about the reception on this phone is very poor. Its very concerning when I hold the handset I can see a big dip in the signal.
What is more annoying for me is that I keep having problems with the bluetooth signal cutting out duing calls its very random, sometimes it can happen 2 or 3 times a day, then it might be fine for the rest of the week. I have 2 bluetooh headsets, both sony erricson models and it still happends. Its a right pain. I wonder if that is a problem for anyone else or is it possible that I have a faulty handset?

Is this reception problem to do with the design of the phone (aerial/casing placement)?
Or is it to do with which country people are in? Cos I know dropped calls is probably a bigger issue in the US than in the UK (either that or I've been really lucky with my phones and network).

I had a chance to open mine.
Yes the problem is the placement. They place the antenna where you hold the phone while you on call.
There plan was to have the whole cover working as an antenna but somehow that doesn't work.
An the phone network is good if you in a high receiption area.

Cheers TeenInvader...after some deliberating I've decided to opt for the k770i as it has AF and slimmer than my w810. Did check out the mocha version of the w890i in person looks very nice but camera is more important for me.

Dunno what has been fixed on the new firmware. But there is a new feature under Media Menu -> Settings called 'Update Media' which basically refreshes the media content in the memory card.
And it deletes all the personal data including your phone book if you have stored it on the phone memory. So be sure to back up your phone book, messages and other personal data you have stored on the phone memory to the M2.

Can someone tell me how to find the current firmware in the phone?
Just bought the phone and been using it for almost a month now so the firmware should be relatively new and updated!
Thank you!

Menu->Settings->General tab->Update Service->Software Version.
This will tell the firmware version your phone has.
