i'll just throw in my 2 cents,
while there have been better receivers out there i've had HTCs outgun my brother's samsungs and even a sanyo (and sanyo is known for quality reception) using the Titan/Mogul/6800 and the Touch Pro easily outdoes my Pre
While not the best, HTCs usually aren't bad for reception. It could be a problem with your hardware at which point just trade it out. If you want to try fixing it first dig around the Titan forum and find a new "Radio" I've heard those can help a lot
