Overall pretty good, but many dropped calls. Spotty signal inside my 3rd floor apartment. Practically no reception inside university buildings.

I have never had below 4 bars since I got verzion except for some spots in center city.

Reception is bad in this part of Queen Village; actually, it's bad from South St.from 2nd St.to 8th Street, and down to Christian.

reception is good outside but bad inside the house (stone walls)

Terrible reception with numerous dropped calls. Frequently lose signal while talking to people. Cannot get any reception in my own apt.

I've never gotten anything but perfect reception with Verizon on campus, indoors or out, except in the sub-basement of my lab building (two floors below ground), where it drops calls a lot (like at least one in three calls will be dropped mid-call).

I too get no reception in parts of the house in W. Mt Airy and drop calls if moving from certain rooms to others. But outside of the house and throughout the city, mid-atlantic region, and wherever else I've travelled in the USA, reception has been outstanding. Same carrier and number for 6 years and never had any of the problems or complaints that others talk about. Only problem now is the lack of good phone choices and locked / blocked features compared to other carriers.

reception is spotty within the house. only the areas near the windows are acceptable with occasional drop offs.

Best phone out there today. I had Cingular and I did not have any service the people that work at Cingular store are very mean to everyone that walks in and I am happy that Nextel has great service in philadelphia.

Calls routinely drop every 10-12 minutes! The signal bars will all appear but, a few minutes later, without fail, even if I've not moved, they drop to 1 or 2 and the call fails. BF's phone does this too, and sometimes so quickly that he can't even listen to the messages on his voice mail before the call is dropped. I have SOME better luck outside of the house, but still often get dropped calls.
