is anyone else having dropped call problems with the N900?? also i dunno why but lately ive been having alot of 'connection errors' when im making out going calls.. only to realise im not getting any incomming calls or msgs or data connection. my service bar shows full 3.5g and service provider name is displayed however when i call myself from another mobile it says my phone is switched off!! service only comesback when i restart my phone!! or go offline mode and back again!

im based in Singapore. anyone else from here or anywhere else facing this problem? and any fixes to this? wud like to let u kniw that this problem was the same before pr1.2 and after aswell!!

yo dude.. im in saudi arabia... same problem.. when some one calls me... before i get a chance to pick up... the call just drops and becomes a missed call.... really annoying... but there is nothing any one can do ... atleast thats what i can say... plus... now i cannot connect to my service provider internet... i mean the internet that is provided by my sim.. i can only use wifi... thats all.... hope nokia fixes this soon ! mail me if u need to know any thing else ! zikmir@live.com

Had same problem.
'Connection Error' kept coming up on 1 particular number but could make and recieve other calls and had full reception.

So I delete the number from my contacts and resaved it.
Worked straight away after that!?
Not sure why or if this really was the true solution.

i really appriciate this phone but i believe nokia just sold me the best hardware but no good OS and left the maemo community to fix it by them selves.... i just hope the next upgrade fixes this basic calling/reciving problem.. which is the most essential thing !

n900s cellular signal is not that powerful and has been discussed multiple times in the past in multiple threads. there are some who are looking to provide antennae with more power for this same issue. i can tell from my own experience that N900 will loose the signal where my old 6301 still has and its on same netwrok and same place and if i do loose signal in some part of the town 6301 will catch the signal and stay put, whereas n900 will not have a signal for almost 5-10 minutes. it was not that horrible with my original n900 but starting to see this issue when i got my replacement from nokia and ofcourse at the same time pr1.2 came out.
would love to see an improvement on this issue from nokia in distance future.

Please vote for the bug in my sig everyone.

i dont mean to sound selfish but am glad am not the only one facing this problem!
zikmir, i am from dubai and travel there quite often but surprisingly i never faced this problem there even though my N900 was with a singapore sim card and was on roaming!! infact this problem only escalated arnd march onwards and then became a major issue for me that i had to make a thread on it!

ofcourse another problem is that there no stable msn client for it which can linked from the conversations inbox. the most decent way is pidggen but i dnt care much for its layout.
