Reception is extremely poor inspite of being a block or two from the water tower with all the cellular antennas. My guess is that the antennas focus their signals in a manner that it excludes the area immediately around the base for several blocks. I can drive 2 blocks north and get a good signal.

Previously I owned a SE T306 and I had two bars, but when I bought the V600, performance has improved significantly!

Cingular service has been all but stellar. I've had so many dropped calls - sometimes I just want to put Cingular out business. At Cingular they also have poor customer service. I'm just happy my contract is up and I can leave right now.

Can't use my 515 when indoors. Drop calls all the time, even when standing outside on my porch. Really dissatisfied with AT&T coverage.

Northwest and west Evanston reception is terrible to non-existent. Especially from about 2600 Central through Central / Crawford. Anything along McCormick Blvd. north of Main is poor. As is Ridge Rd. from Central / Crawford to north past Lake Ave. in Wilmette.

Great reception inside my condo (behind Ryan Field). Great reception everywhere in Evanston.

Get no to intermittent reception, chronic dropped calls. No reception in our second-floor condo, no reception from Ryan Field to Linden "El," dropped calls on Central St. Completely unreliable. Called tech support and were told that we should be getting service. Called a second time and were told that one of their towers is down (as of May) and that it will be repaired in December. We were told we could purchase a signal booster and pay a monthly fee to maintain it. Why can't we get that for free? "We cannot offer complimentary signal boosters because they are in such high demand from our customers." Despite the competitive pricing, I would rather pay more for service that works than the amount that we pay Sprint for a smartphone that is useless for anything but texting.

There is a major dead spot in Evanston for the Sprint network right where I live by Willard School.
