Nextel
I don't get service in my own house at times. The calls always drop, and the battery life is ridiculous. I charge it over night and by 4 in the afternoon my battery is almost dead! I hate Nextel and recommend everyone switch over to anything but Nextel, regardless if they are with Sprint now.

Good reception, no droped calls. The area is on top of a hill so perhaps that is why the reception so good. From 231st and Broadway to Getty Square and points north the Sprint signal is strong and solid. The LG MM 535 is a multimedia dream come true. Lots of extras and speaker phone to boot.

This is crazy there is absolutly no Nextel coverage on Metropolitan Oval and very poor reception in general thru out parkchester with Nextel. They really need to add a tower in this location. Sprint just added a tower at this exactly location and service has went thru the roof. Nextel is the only carrier in this area with such piss poor reception. It's a shame.

At first we were a perfect match but now dropped calls no svc in my building I have to be at least 2 stops out of the subway for svc again. Verizon in this section of the Bronx is horrible I know for a fact because I went to change it to a new Motorola E815 and the same thing happened. Service everywhere but in my neighborhood so NOBODY CAN HEAR ME NOW ( Unless I use the house phone). I just might go back to T-Mobile.

On my Sanyo MM7400 I usually get between -95db and -105db (0-1 bars) in my apartment. Service is slightly better outside at -85db to -95db. (1-2 bars). I have had Sprint service here since May 2001. No changes have taken place.

I have live in Parckchester for over 7 years and have had Sprint PCS service for 3 years at this location. year 1 I got no service in my apartment and barely any service outside in parkchester. year 2 seems they added a site near by. I was able to use service in my apartment but it was marginal. And outdoor coverage got a lil better but I was still not able to use service within any of the stores in parkchester. Fastfoward to year 3, well 2 weeks ago. Sprint added a tower right on top of a building on met oval which right across from my building and service went from piss poor to perfect. Sprint went from worst carrier in the area to best. Service remains perfect no matter where I go in parkchester and remains solid within any building I enter. Service is even usable in elevators now.

Best Service I have had year to date. there is service everywhere I have gone. From Pa to FL to Ny. Cingular has it down pact. Cingular is currently merging the two networks together to improve the network so give them some time. think about there is 50 million other people you can talk too for free and you get to keep your unused minutes every month.

Great reception everywhere in the area. Drops to 3 bars in the elevator.

My new Nextel i836 which I've only had 2 weeks turns on and off by itself at random times. This is becoming a nuisance- I would have never paid the 255 bucks I paid, had I known this would be happening. The reception is awful, and I constantly have dropped calls. I had left Nextel and made the switch to Verizon because I was sick of the awful service. I recently came back hoping they had made changes... but they're still as awful maybe even worse then they were before I left. Please advise...
