I called Amazon's Customer Service and talked to them about the problem. The CS agent had me retrieve some information from my Kindle, which he then relayed to one of their technicians. Several days later, all was well and I've had great 3G reception ever since!

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).
