I'm on the 30th floor and the reception is completely unreliable. I don't know if this is due to the height of the building. I've had problems elsewhere in the city, so I don't think so.

Back side of the buildings - quality dropped within the last week. Now very poor used to be ok.

Strong indoor reception. Better than Verizon (my last carrier).

Horrible reception. I get maybe one bar if lucky but even then it only stays for a few seconds. Calls are choppy and drops almost immediately. When people calls it goes straight to voicemail. Same experience with Cingular in the past with Motorola Razr

T-Mobile's coverage is far superior to the other expensive providers who over-charge everyone. Their is a huge difference between marketing perception and actual facts, and T-Mobile hands down beats ALL the competition. Now they can also gaurantee full coverage and free nationwide calling from ANY home or office for opnly $9.99 / month. Who else can do that???? Keep up the great work T-Mobile!

Never a problem with reception anywhere in midtown, downtown or uptown. i wish ATT had good reception in manhattan because I want to get an iphone. but I can't miss calls-- I use this for work!

Living in NYC, you'd think that a cell phone would work where ever you are. However, that is NOT the case with AT&T / Cingular. I can't tell you how many times I'll be on the phone and walk from the living room to the kitchen and the call is dropped. Or I won't be moving at all and the call is dropped. In addition to dropped calls, sometimes the phone doesn't even ring. People will call me and say "I've been calling you for the past 15 minutes and every time, it goes to voicemail" which doesn't make sense because I don't have the phone off and there's no reason why it should be going to voicemail. It is the most annoying thing EVER and I will be switching to a new carrier soon.

Excellent coverage throughout L.E.S. and East Village. I've heard phone models have as much to do with coverage as provider.

almost no reception in most of the areas in my apartment

Just got this phone and I have to bring it back. I work ten feet from a window and DO NOT get service. It seems ok outside but indoors the service gets real spotty. Dont know if its the phone itself or Verizon doing something with there coverage. I had a Samsung before and would get good service indoors. The service was getting a little weak and opted to get a new phone with the 100 dollar credit they offered. BAD MOVE.
