AT&T
I had 2-3 bars at this location when I first purchased the phone, after Jan 2005... no signal.

Right there as you turn left onto Willamette from Chataqua... Boom! Zero reception! I have to alter my route and drive up Lombard, reception is not great there either.

Reception vacillates constantly. Goes from full bars down to none and the call gets dropped. This has gotten much worse since ATT and Cingular merged. Seems to go on approximately 10 minute cycle, although this is not regular. Basically unacceptable. When Renew time comes we will drop Cingular unless something changes drastically.

I get 2-3 bars out of 5 in the house with the Treo, tower appears to be North of my location. I have not dropped a call yet.

Reliability deteriorating over last several months. For several years service was fair with calls dropped 1-2x in hills between Hollywood and Garden Home. Currently, January 05, calls are dropping 3-4x all along same route. Coverage outside PDX has been variable; Anacortes, Lincoln City, Bend OK; Santa Clara / San Jose even worse than PDX.

Moved here from San Francisco, always saw spotty coverage in the valleys and sometimes house. Since moving to Portland, see major drop in reception in the NE area. At the house we are not getting any calls and voice mail doesn't even show up til outside of house.

Reception has been below average since we moved here a year ago, but all of a sudden has dropped to poor... we cannot dial to or receive calls from our house as of a week or so ago. AT&T says there is no known problem in the area.

I used to have no reception at all inside my 2nd story Portland apartment. Since GSM, I got service everywhere. In the apartment outside of Motorola, at the river, even at my mom's house 10 miles south of Bandon. Then ATT & T and Cingular became one, reception sucks, and 1/3 of my calls are dropped. This sucks.

1-3 bars - seems to be a hole in Verizon's otherwise solid coverage.

Poor (one bar) to "no service" in Washington Square Mall and Target just up the hill. But I go to Taco Bell or the Chevron gas station in that same area, full signal. I'm thinking it's the hotel that is blocking the signals to Target and the Mall. I've been meaning to stop at the AT&T / Cingular kiosk at the mall and see what signal strength their phones show. I'm guessing they are where they are because it's the only sweet spot in the mall. The engineers need to look at this area and design better coverage. A lot of communication goes on in department stores and malls.
