Absolutely poor. Dropping, can't hear most of the time

Usually one bar, or two at most. Drops often. Need to change the carrier.

Signal varies along street. Had one dropped call and a few cutouts, but my wife's phone (Motorole E815) works better. Could not connect at all with my old Sprint service.

Have very good coverage in and around Medtronic buildings - even in the central parts of the buildings. Usually have 3-4 (out of 4) bars in my office area, 2-3 in the firness center. Have never not been able to connect.

Cutoffs are common. Sprint not recommended in Uptown.

I feel blessed to still have a TDMA Nokia 6560. Best reception hands down in the metro area and I have the best plan available ($35.99 for 900min and free MtoM). I have a Verizon work phone and my wife has a Cingular GSM and the TDMA is still better even though the technology is fading. Unfortunately, good call reception has gave way to downloading Green Day ringtones. Wireless phone technology is going in the wron direction.

Near NW border of Minneapolis proper, very poor or nonexistant Nextel coverage. Problem has been on and off since last year.

Absolutely awful coverage in this area. Spotty at best in area bounded by 54th, Penn, Crosstown and Xerxes. Have called it in and Cingular tells me it's at acceptable coverage levels. BS ! I say.

I've been a cellphone user for 12 years - all with the same number and same carrier. Celllular One > ATT Wireless > Cingular. The phones are cooler, but reception keeps getting noticeably worse. Now we have 3 phones in the house (this plus 2 LG) and none work very well. Dropped calls, static and all around dissatisfaction. I was going to move directly to Verizon, since Consumer Reports says they're generally the best, but this most excellent local forum is changing my mind. T-Mobile? Verizon? Hmmm.

I'm delighted with Verizon reception in my home. Infinitely better than my former carrier (Qwest)which had a total dead area here.
