Nextel's coverage is THE PITS, especially in northern Baltimore County and with the i710 model. I live in Upperco, and there is 'No Service' in my house and most of the tinme in my yard. The coverage is for the most part unacceptably bad, in my opinion, all around the Baltimore metro area. Approaching the heart of the city from the south (heading north on 95 and also I-395) nothing... the dreaded No Service screen. Areas of our beltway, especially on the southwest side, the same non-existent unavailable service. Dropped cals are the exception, not the norm. I had Cingular for 3 years and was at times frustrated, but nothing compares to what I am enduring with Nextel. I am probably switching to Sprint to avoid early termination. Take my advice if you live in the metro Baltimore area and avoid Nextel if at all possible.
