quite good reception.

Despite the number of bars, reception more than 5 feet away from a window results in dropped calls and a horrible connection despite a clear line of sight 40 storeys up with no buildings surrounding me. Connection even while plastered to a window ain't that hot either.

Basement apartment. Other than a couple of "hotspots", no reception while in apartment. OK on the street.

Great reception from the seventh floor and on the street.

Even in the basement of my appartment building, I get reasonable receptoin. Very solid everywhere in NYC. Get good reception all over the US and Canada--Miami, Lauderdale, Tampa, St. Augustine, all over Long Island, Dobbs Ferry, NY, Stamford CT, Nova Scotia, LA, San Diego, Frisco, Chicago, St. Louis. Only place I encountered a hole was Mystic, CT (odd). Very good service.

My bedroom is right on Broadway on the 7th floor and the reception is awesome.

I can see a cell phone antennae on top of a building (7 floors tall) from my apartment that are directed right at my apt. I think this is my cell phone tower and explains my excellent reception. The building is on 84ths street about midway between Broadway and Amsterdam. I imagine that if you were on the other side of my building (tall - 23 floors) you would not get any reception from this tower and might explain the poor reception from other users in the area.

Ancient Sprint CDMA phone gets excellent reception in my pre-war apartment as well as outside on the street.

Very good reception at this location with no drop out or call cut-offs. Very pleased with T-Mobile service in general. According to your maps, South of 42nd is not so good, but just a few blocks north of there, it is excellent. My apartment faces south and I always have five bars of reception.

As with much of the upper west side, Cingular coverage is a problem, so the signal is either lost or fluctuates wildly with any movement. Perhaps they will add some locations or buy space from Verizon. I am not switching because the Cingular coverage in Florida is much better than Verizon's.
