Default HTC Desire reception issues

Yes, Iphone fanboys, its true

I have had my Desire for 2 months, no issues at up until now - no reception whatsoever. None. zero bars. Limited servic all the time. This has been since Tuesday afternoon. i have taken the sim out and stuck it into my trusty Nokia brick - mega bars and i have contact with the world again!

Sending it back to be repaired, grr

That's the first time I've heard of HTC being faulty
My Desire is perfect and the best phone ever.
Awaits.............

Maybe a problem with the handset? I have heard good things about HTC customer service so give them a call see what they can do!

Even though this phone has severely let me down it is by far better than any apple based product, I can back that up with lots of hearsay and internet links to other bullish user say-so's

I'm getting the hang of this I think

That may be so, but with just one flash of my IP4 and wimmins like Lisa Faulkner will follow me home and let me bang them up the back door.

did you try the factory reset option?

When i first got mine out of the box it would connect to network but not 3g/etc

Thought just my luck! phoned tmobile they went through the settings , nothing would work, so he said right last option factory reset, it did the trick though i was a little nervous for a while, but no problems since.

Do a back up first if you have anything you want to keep.
