Very strong reception Scared to switch to a different carrier but want a 3G iPhone

Verizon has great signal all throughout Santa Clara proper as well as Santa Clara Valley. Wonderful!

Great Reception with Verizon even inside apartment or even in below grade garage.

Couldn't get any signal from Cingular in my house so switched to Verizon and enjoying perfect reception now.

Rock solid coverage in this area, and most of Lawrence expressway and Stevens Creek. Good coverage on 101 and 280. However, there is a BIG hole on 280 between Palo Alto and Redwood City.

Something good has happened in the past few days. Now getting 3G reception indoors (1-2 bars). Outside is much stronger. It appears that something positive has been done by AT&T in our area recently.

Generally have 4 or five bars (five bars = Max) anywhere in Bella Vita Apt Complex. Also, have never dropped a call in the Santa Clara, CA area.

Rock solid all over town including indoors. I also have a Cingular phone for work and the reception is very poor by comparison. I wonder though, how much the model of phone(or condition of the phone) has to do with an individual's reception experience? Some people report bad coverage with Verizon in San Jose area, but my experience has been great.

AT&T / Cingular is great for me all over the bay area. I don't know why people don't get good reception in the bayarea. My advice: Get a good phone with both 850 and 1900 Mhz bands.

I usually see 4-5 bars. Even then the voice breaks when I receive a call. The people on the other side don't have any issues. Initially I felt it was a problem with the instrument, so replaced it with another one. Have the same problem with another equipment, but slightly less severe. Don't know the issue yet.Any help will be appreciated
