i think once every two months I get a "network busy" thing, I wait a minute or so and its ok. somtimes I may lose a call going past forest preserves. T-Mobile and Verizon have been the best reception for me. My contract has been up for like a year waiting for ATT to get their network together so I can get an iphone. looks like that isnt happening anytime soon so tmoblie will get another two year contract from me, mortorola cliq pre orderd!

Reception is awful - calls frequently drop and even the ones that stay connected sound as though I am sitting inside a tin can with cotton stuffed in my mouth. And forget about high speed data transfer!

No complaints... .only time I lose coverage is when I am underground in the EL. But that is expected.

never had any problems since '99 and now its 3g! Windows Mobile with High Speed is soooo much better than any iphone could try to be- no dropped calls, even works in subways, and I get high speed streaming video, email, or what ever I want

I often have dropped calls and my phone even loses coverage entirely with a "Searching... " message. AT&T says several towers in my area are "degraded" and will be fixed soon, but this has been the story for over a year.

i am thinking of taking the hit for exiting out of my contract early. terrible reception. from 2 bars to 0 by the time I press talk. good news is that I am able to live a cell phone free life.

My reception varies from moment to moment from 0 bars to 4 bars. It constantly changes. If I watch it just goes up and down as I am on the phone. I am lucky if I can complete a call without the line being dropped. I am so frustrated. I called 611 and they looked into it but they were not able to do anything about it. I had excellent reception when I lived in Lake County in Illinois but it has only been bad while living in Chicago. I want to know which carrier is best in my area.

AT&T is awful! Dropping client calls is not good for business. I'm switching to Sprint for the Palm Pre. The iphone shine has faded.
