I'm not sure what they tweaked, but sometimes they can do magic from their end. It may be worth a call. The Kindle Customer Support numbers I have are:
U.S. customers (toll free): 1-866-321-8851
Outside the U.S. (charges will apply): 1-206-266-0927

My problem is that there's no reception at all. Not once did the Whispernet status indicator go above "zero."
I would like this problem fixed *before* I register the device. So I'm hesitant to contact CS. I'd like to try the Kindle out before I decide to keep it (if I do keep it).
