Cool. How about the signal strength? iPhones sucked regarding reception for many years and nobody really covered that. $100 Moto phone would receive better signal than a $1200 iPhone. Verified by many people

Unfortunately, the N1 is a big headache for US mobile carriers due to the lack of support for mmWave connectivity.

It's funny that speed is the only metric that matters apparently - while it does, I'm certainly interested in hearing about reliability and power usage, as well as speed.
