Samsung X495

Experts,

I got two Samsung X495 handsets FAR from mobileconnection.com for my T-Mo
family plan.

Handset #1 has a good signal indoors at home (2 to 4 bars).
Handset #2 has no or minimal signal indoors at home (no signal to 1 bar).

I understand variations in manufacturing, statistics. Is handset #2 a
statistical outlier? Or is it just bad RF front-end so I should exchange it?
Works great in strong signal areas, good voice quality. But in weak spots
handset #2 is terrible. I know cellular carriers don't guarantee indoor/home
coverage. But when 2 handsets of the same model have completely different
signal levels in the same location, methinks sumfin' fishy.

Appreciate your comments,
Andy M - Tampa Bay
