Sprint reception has been great in my apartment (Sungarden Apts), and in the general area East of Sacramento. I usually have at least 3 bars on my phone network-strength indicator (clear calls, no problems). I have never had a dropped call (unless my battery dies mid-call). I have great reception in my apartment (Sungarden) and in all the office buildings I've worked in, in Rancho Cordova on White Rock between Zinfandel and Sunrise. Occasionally, the speaker phone sound / reception is poor (echo or poor sound quality), but when this happens the voice quality and connection is fine when I switch from speaker to either using the phone as a handset, or plugging in the ear-bud. The speaker phone quality issue may be partly network and partly an issue with the cell phone, too? There's one spot in Folsom, at a friend's house, where I don't have good / consistent reception in their house, and have to go out to their driveway to make / receive calls. But that's the only "dead spot" I've found. I've heard from friends that Verizon also has good reception (confirmed by some of these reviews). Happy hunting / calling...
