Worse radio reception on xv6800 than xv6700

I just recently upgraded to a verizon xv6800 from xv6700 and let me tell you. Big dissappointment. The most important of all is the radio reception is worsen than the xv6700. Comparing the two devices side by side, I have 3 bars with the xv6700 but only 1 bar (cut in and out) with the xv6800. Upgraded radio from 1.30 to 3.35.04 won't help a bit.

Video performance is very annoying. I used to play every video files smoothly with the xv6700 under core player and tcmp. The same files can't be played back without tweaking down the the playback quality to a minimum.

Pro
Light weight, brighter screen, internal anntena, sticky stylus, bluetooth 2.0

Con
Worse radio reception, poor video performance, uncommon audio ear plug
not overclockable for the time being
