I get about two bars at the northwest corner of A (blue) corridor, and the signal drops to one bar as I walk east through A corridor. This may be because I'm getting close to the Baker / Olin parking lot. No reception in B (yellow), C (brown), D (orange) or E (green) corridors. In the hallway leading to the Baker-North Campus exit, I get three bars standing next to one of the windows below the Baker / Olin parking lot. I once did a phone interview in one of the Baker classrooms looking out to Clark Plaza. Three or four bars. I can get three or four bars at some places in the LASSP stockroom. Perhaps I'm closer to Clark Plaza. Of course this will change when they construct the new building between Baker and Rockefeller.

Forget Sprint in Northern Rockland. Palisades Pkwy. reception from Exit 16 to exit 10 much better than Cingular however.

I was promised that all of Long Island was covered when I signed a one year contract in April. Service is unbelievably poor throughout the East End of Long Island. While most of Rt 27 is covered (with dead spots), once you leave the main road signal drops to zero. I saw in the local paper that plans were approved last year for a major increase in towers, but so far there is no sign of any change. I will try Cingular when my contract is up, and maybe switch back to Verizon which does have OK coverage in the area, if Cingular is also not there yet. Sprint promised coverage in 1998- and still has nothing- so I have learned not to trust promises.

It sucks in my home, I am not even able to some time receive calls. This service is really bad.

Most days I get poor or no reception using this GSM phone. If I lean against the window, I sometimes get 1-2 bars. This is somewhat uncomfortable for making / receiving calls.

Typically no bars or no service at this location.

Very poor reception in Hauppauge and Brentwood area, phone calls are constantly dropped. No reception inside buildings, Nextel has no answers, everyone over there seems to be clueless.

Cingular has the best reception in this area, but Right where I live is a dead spot. I have recently changed phones to a Samsung SGH-X427 and its even worse. But the Nokia was a TDMA and GSM phone whereas the Samsung is only GSM. That is the difference. If you can, get Cingular service, a Motorola phone, and make sure it can do both TDMA and GSM.

There is about a 20 mile dead zone. Wake up ATT. There many nice hill tops for towers.

I am having the strangest problem. I intermittently get no signal at all on my 7100 in my office, while users of Blackberry 7230s get 3 or 4 bars. When I do occasionally have signal on the 7100 in this location, I get 3 or 4 bars! T-mobile has sent a replacement phone, which seemed to more consistently get signal for a while, but now repleats the same behavior. Popping my SIM in an n-gage QD yields full strength.
