Lots of dropped calls. Some days I cannot walk from one room to another without dropping a call. Some days I cannot even make / receive calls. I have 2 spots in my house that are more likely to have reception on poor days, but once I make the call I don't dare move. Slow internet. GPS / Navigation can quit while I'm enroute. Hate being locked into a contract - there is no incentive for the company to change... Service centers are happy to point me in the direction of a new phone with marvelous features (and a new 2-year contract) but don't have solutions for current problems. Not hard to tell where they make money.

I get good reception in my Apt. The local Fred Meyer store is a cell phone black hole for my carrier. I lose connection between my head set and phone while shopping. As for the local service and connection, I don't have any real gripes, my calls go through and the problem, most of the time is the location of whom I'm talking to.

Seem to get great reception never drop, also clear sound most of the time. Signal now seems a little better than a year ago when I moved to the area.

Cingular really stinks since taking over AT&T Wireless. Last night I was not receiveing calls but was able to make calls out.

Verizon has been pretty good with thier service. I travel from Hillsboro to Tualatin to Corvallis almost every week and the service is acceptable. Occasional dropped call, or a short wait for the service to switch from roaming to a Verizon network but overall ok. Unfortunatly the phones all focus on taking pictures and video instead of new business communication technology.
