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

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.

What reception? The coverage in Evanston is horrible. Half the time I can't get a signal, especially on the NU campus or near the lake. The service is decent (2 bars) in the downtown area, but further you get, the worse it becomes. I have friends who have marked 2 square feet on the street and walk 5 - 10 minutes from their apartments just to stand there and talk.

I've been told there's a tower on the Northwestern University campus, and reception is great anywhere on campus. Inside buildings is non existent, but I've never experienced any dropped calls or poor reception outside.

AT&T service has beyond sucked since the day we went to them from T-Mobile. I have called and complained so much and received several hundred dollars in credits but truthfully i'm tired of having to call and tired of credits. Give me service that works please. I'm actually considering paying over 400 to break my contract with AT&T so I can get better service. I have to go outside of my home to make phone calls... What a joke! our monthly service runs about 240.00 / month for three lines each with data and we can't make or receive calls from our home without them dropping...

I get better reception in Beijing, China than Evanston, Illinois with AT&T. Really! T-Mobile fantastic, AT&T horrible.
