I changed from Verizon and Motorola to T-Mobile and Samsung because T-Mobile had the "talk or walk" deal. After finding that the coverage was no better at my house on Bowels at Ames I took the phone back only to be told "you bought the phone a week after the talk or walk was over". The salesman knew I was trying it due to the guarantee and did not tell me the deal was gone. I've had AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile and my neighbors have Qwest. Nothing works here. They all lie about their coverage. I've been told that if they cover any part of a zip code they consider it ok to say the zip is covered. Definately not true in my case. I also gave up a good Motorla phone to try a cheaper Samsung. Big mistake.

This was a phone I had with AT&T (now Cingular)... I've had it for many years and have enjoyed reception almost EVERYWHERE... even on top of the mountain at the Copper Mountain Ski Area. Lately, I experience 4 to 6 "dead zones" between home (in SW Denver) and where I work (downtown). It's definitely time for a change!

We get dropped every time on I-25 in both directions between Lincoln and Surrey Ridge.

Very poor reception for Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint in the residental area, Verizon especially. Multiple phones, neighbors have also complained of poor service. Called Verizon, they keep saying "We'll get a tower put up in the area soon" but that was over a year ago and still nothing. Nextel recently added a tower in the area and I can get 2-3 bars in my basement which is great!

Excellent voice quality. Get 140 kbit / sec consistantly using EDGE to access Internet

I travel a lot in and out of the U.S. In every country I have visited I have never lost reception, only in the middle of the ocean. This is great for a travler like me. Even in my basement I get 4-5 Bars. With Verizon I never had any inside and maybe 1-2 outside.

Will not receive coverage inside buildings. Marginal coverage outside.

excellent coverage except in roxborough park / arrowhead area.

Amongst the rocks but can see the lights of Denver and Castle Rock. Need more repeaters !

Constantly "changes service area" between 1x and analog while sitting on my desk at home. Totally unreliable until I get out to Wadsworth & 470. Drops calls suddenly and consistently at Kipling and Chatfield. Phone shows all bars, but you can't make a call, and I won't answer if it rings, 'cause it'll get dropped. Switched 9 salespeople over to Verizon, and I'm pretty disappointed.
