Never had a problem with WiFi, however, the N1's soft touch buttons are somewhat painful. I've accidentally pressed the home button a few times while typing on the on-screen keyboard. They also seem to only register if you click them on the top (closer to the screen). Other then that, it beats the G1 in every other way.
