I've had reception issues with my i760 as well. Went through 2 of them already. I was told by the VZW rep last week that there is a problem with the phones (they either can't say or don't know), and that Samsung has put a production hold on them until further notice. They cannot sell new ones, or ship refurbs for warranty replacements. They were able to ship me a brand new 6800 as the replacement. It's OK, and there are some good forums for registry tweaks/hacks (I now have GPS working with Live Search mobile, and google maps, without having to pay for VZnavigator to turn on the GPS functionality). The one issue I have with the phone is the voice command, or lack thereof. I extensively used the voice command on the i760. On the XV6800, you have to train the phone for EVERY ONE of your contacts and applications for voice dial. As soon as the i760 becomes available again, I'm calling VZW and getting it back.
