If anyone knows more about radios, could you tell me if that makes sense
Yes, it makes sense. Without going into too much technical babble regarding polarization and lobes (amongst other factors), the relative orientations of the antennae (both in angles and in position) can have a dramatic effect on the signal when the transmitted power is "just enough" to begin with under ideal circumstances. When you have a over-abundance of power to work with, you never notice that kind of stuff but when you are running on the ragged edge of acceptable signal level those factors definitely come into play.

Got my N900 yesterday and I honestly cannot keep myself of it ... it is just that good !!! Nokia's marketing department sucks, no doubt, but their engineering department has really won my heart :P

Works like a fckng charm as well here! And also, this is linux fellas.. some people used to say that we loved linux bc it's "hard" and "not complete"... now we totally got it on a good phone... let the fun and bug hunting begins...
If I wanted something ****ing polished and without a single minor bug I would just buy two plastic glasses and some rope.

Hello,

Got mine a couple of weeks ago from heathrow terminal 5 for about £430.

It is a great phone but of course it needs some improvments!

Overall I must say this is the first time I get a phone that new, and it is so robust. Everything else I got (i am an early adopter, I can't help it ), I had to wait till first firmware updates. The n900 works great, it just lacks some features but it doesn't claim it has them, and I find I can do without them anyway.

I love mine! The only thing I don't like is the performance and connectivity of the email client.
