Works great, if you're standing still. Drops near Greenbrier on 64, near Jordan Bridge on 464, near the MAC Terminal on 564, and various other places. Don't go in a building if you plan to keep a conversation going for more than a few minutes. Now that Suncom is going to Cingular, my 4 month old GSM phone is no longer going to work and I need to get a new contract to get a new phone. My new contract will be with a diferent carrier!

I have only had 1 dropped call since I got my V600. I think the phone is awesome.

Excellent coverage out here! Seems to be a dead spot on Greenbriar towards Centerville, and again on Centerville towards Kempsville. Otherwise, very good even in buildings. Looking to try GSM. Wondering what Cingular will do with us Suncom users.

I have NTELOS with this and reception on both my wifes and my own E310 fades and has numerous drop calls. NTELOS claims its not their network or the phone, so it must be the area I live in, but I have my doubts as my neighbor uses Nextel and has no problems at all.

This area is very close to work. Had one maybe two bars, seemed poor quality service at this location, somewhat slow data. (phone as a modem). Updated PRL, (prefered roaming list) and I now have 4 sometimes 5 bars, no more dropped calls there and data is faster. Was several revisions behind in PRL but update seems to have resolved any coverage problems I had with this phone. Seems only phones made in the past two years or more have the PRL update in the phone interface. Users of all carriers should probably look into this as well. Sure worked for me!

Phone always indicates 2 bars of service. If you get a call, don't move! If you do move you are guaranteed to loose the call. If I stand on the rock in the front yard and look the right way, without moving. I can talk.

Extremely poor if any recption when inside. Have to go out side with one hand in the air and holding the phone at a 45 degree angle to be able to make a call. As soon as my service plan is up I am switching to another service. Wife has Verizon and it works great.

Sprint Connectivity in our home (Mar 2005-Jul 2006) away from a window no bars, next to window 1-bar. Calls answered or made from home usually lose connection. Had same reception problems with Verizon and Sun prior to Sprint. Next door neighbor has Alltel. His phone displays 4 bars in my house and excellent reception.

This is ridiculous. If we're able to place or receive a call we cannot keep a call for more than 4 minutes without loosing service. If someone is reading this, let's get some more service out here and let's rise up.

I have had T-Mobile since 2001 and I havent had a problem with service since. I have been through many phones, like Nokia 3390, Sidekick 2 and 3, Wing, Blackberry, Nokia 3595, Nokia 6030, and the current phone that I have now is the G1. the G1 by far is the best phone for signal. wherever I go (expect for places where they have alot cement) I get really good signal. I have tested it by traveling from Chesapeake to Richmond, I always had at least 2 bars from the 2 hour drive.
