barely 1 bar in house and that too just on the top floor.

This is in the Evergreen Valley. I got better reception with my old phone. When I upgraded to the V3, reception dropped. Also, this phone is worthless in a metal building and reception way down in a mall.

reception sucks..all in this area..always fades in and out..but majority no reception..its weird how I have all 4 bars in this one spot just outside my house... hmm..im trying Cingular now..

Almost no reception, and many dropped calls in my home. Actually much better most everywhere in the Bay Area.

Cross the bridge just past Silver Oak Elementary heading south east on San Felipe, and like Clockwork, my cellphone starts beeping looking for a network. I have resorted to cutting off a wirehangar and fashioning rabbit ears in my home (it adds a bar or two but the kids get embarrased when I walk around with it in the malls) Wife says that her phone using the old ATT service is better.

Good signal. Always get the max bars any room in the house. never get call dropped.

Barely get one bar. Most of the time it's no reception and slightly 1. Lots of dropped calls. I used to have a Samsung phone (non-Vision) and it was the same. My friend has a Nokia 3585i, slightly better reception (at least 1 bar) most of the time but similar to my phone, it drops to 0 bars as well. Hers also has lots of dropped calls as well. Coverage out there with Sprint is *very* spotty. Once out on the road, reception is much better, but in this area in particular reception is terrible. It could be from the mountains as this was pre Sprint-Nextel merger. My cousin has Nextel and his reception wasn't great either. Although some friends claim that Cingular is better. This review is based on a 2004 visit to CA. The San Francisco area has good reception, though (city area and around Fisherman's wharf). Sprint customer service wasn't that great either when I got back to NYC and explained my problem. Discovered of course, that you can call Sprint through your phone (*4 and say 'Credit for a dropped call'), but you're only allowed 8 credits per month when in that week alone I was visiting I had more than 8 dropped calls! Then they tried to sell me their 'Roaming Plan' (wtf-?!), when I was already in roam on my visit there. Of course, my contract is finally up with Sprint and I plan on switching.

I get perfect reception but for some reason I get drop calls about 80% of times.

Strong signal in all rooms.
