I just purchased a Kindle 2 and, so far, I've been unable to connect to Whispernet at all. The signal strength has been at zero, and changing location (i.e., going outside) doesn't seem to help. According to Amazon's coverage map, I should be able to connect (I live in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island). I'm thinking either my Kindle is defective, or coverage is temporarily down in my area, or Amazon's coverage map is wrong. Any ideas?

P.S. Also, my Kindle arrived unregistered, despite the fact that it was not ordered as a gift. Is that normal?
