I use this phone for business out of my house all day long. Very, very few problems with coverage. Both this phone, and the Treo 650 could use some help in the bug department. I average one major bug a month. Sprints phone technical help is pretty good - when you get them on the phone. Their in-store help is the worst I have ever seen. Avoid the retail stores like the plague!

Born in SE and cant even visit my parents without having no service its like Nextel thinks nobody in SE needs service. Had to call 911 for my father who fell off a latter no service and I called them and they said I had a bad phone but I just purchased it last month and every Nextel phone I have ever owned never work in SE. I mean every new phone that Nextel brings out I have bought it but now I'am done no more faketel.

works perfectly on the street, but inside the buildings between 6th and 7th st there is almost NO signal at all... very POOR reception... Get signal 30% of the time inside the building that means I loose 70% of my calls during the time I am inside...

Is T-Mobile reception getting worse? I used to get only one bar at work, now I get none. TMO swaped out my phone but still no dice.

Complained like HELL! This intersection is less than a mile away from the Capitol! This whole area just sucks, and there is no reason for it. Service has improved a bit becuase a bunch of my co-workers complained too. If you live in this area, call Verizon. Open a trouble ticket. They just need a new tower.

My apartment is adjacent to the GW undergraduate campus and my signal is spotty at best. It will be 4 bars one second and zero the next, without my having moved. It averages around one bar while inside buildings.

Terrible reception in medical school and in or around hospital. Anywhere else around Foggy Bottom is ok and around the undergrad campus is fine.

National Mall / Washington DC, Washington, DC 20020 Thu Nov 17, 2005

Standing on the middle of the National Mall, downtown Washington DC, if I am lucky enough to get a bar, it always states Roaming, Roaming? this is home, how can I be roaming in my own home town. The sooner I get rid of Cingular the better, I wish AT&T was back

Almost always no reception - though sometimes I'm surprised by 3 bars. Seems to be a dead spot at a very busy location.

We were switched from ATT wireless when Cingular bought them. Now, we have virtually no reception in our living room, and moving to the kitchen puts both Nokia and Motorola phones on "Roam". No accountability at all from Cingular, and I don't care where their towers are if they don't give me service. We're stuck until the contract expires, and then, believe me, we'll switch.

Terrible Coverage. I switched from AT&T to Verizon and learned to regret it. My apartment gets absolutely no reception. Also, in order to get a new phone one needs to commit to Verizon and the phone you buy for two years (unless you want to buy another phone at full price)... .this phone's quality etc progressively deteriorates with time and so does the service. Reception is extremely variable, and my default is to assume a bad connection rather than a good one.

Can't hold a call for more than 10 minutes. It's been getting worse in the last months. Perhaps nearby embassies security devices?
