I got a Sprint, Nexus S and my reception is pretty horrible. I'm listed as being in a "good area" but roam quite a bit. In fact, compared to my HTC hero, data reception is horrible.

Just curious if anyone has any ideas or suggestions? Responses on the Sprint forums have said to take it in to the store, but I bought my device from ebay so I'm unsure if they'll be willing to help.

Take it to a corporate store anyway...doesn't matter where you bought it.

Thanks for the tip. Do you have any thoughts on what they'll actually do? Is it possible to "test" a phone's signal strength? I've had mixed experiences a the Sprint store. I've found place and employees that are exremely helpful, others not so much.

I'm curious if there's any "at home" I can do between my HTC hero and Nexus S.

take it to a services & repair store and them do a post test to address the radio/reception strength of your device.
