Used it while driving from Norfolk to Tacoma, WA and had fairly good reception along major hiways except in parts of west virginia and north western minisota. It even worked while standing on top of a butte in ND. Some callers mentioned they were getting feedback and echo'ing even while using hands free wired ear and mic cord. Overall, I do not regret using this phone on my trip. I also used the internet on this pda to find directions when I got lost. Getting a map when your lost can cost as much as a long distance phone call nowadays. Glad I chose this unit to travel with! I highly recomend it.

Does anyone else in this area close to CBN have trouble with their Verizon Wireless reception, just switched over from Sun Com. No problem with Sun Com but Verizon reception in my area is terrible.

3-6 bars of service in my house. Cingular is great in Virginia Beach. I used to have a Nokia 6360 on Suncom's TDMA network. That service was great. Then I got a Nokia 3220 on Suncom's GSM network. Service was crap in neighborhoods. Always got the network busy signal. Then Suncom merged with Cingular. Now I have a Nokia 6230. Service is great. I have perfect reception almost everywhere. Cingular is great!

I usually have great reception. But when I'm in the Greenbrier area of Chesapeake along Providence Rd. my phone will go in and out of sevice, but still have a full signal. I think its just the phone, because my old phone never did that. Also I can never get a signal in Lynnhaven Mall. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll be able to get 1 bar and talk for a couple of seconds before I get a dropped call. Other than that, I've had near perfect reception. Even in tunnels I can still get reception.

ATT / Cingular merger has been a nightmare for the customer in my opinion. Used to have much better reception on Motorola T725's we purchased in 1 / 05. Cingular just came in and made us swap for a choice of 11 inferior phones (so much for the $300 just spent in January). Now come to find out one of the numbers they assigned is considered Long Distance if dialed from a land line here in the area. Called Cingular who is willing to do nothing till they get more numbers which they say could be June. Appears along with poor reception they also are into overbooking their network by selling local service they can not cover.

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!

Oceanview Ave. | 9th Bay View,
Norfolk, VA 23518 |
In most areas of Hampton Roads reception is good but in Oceanview as well as 264 and Indian River, reception is almost non-existent. My phone is almost completely useless around my home in Oceanview. Signal is constantly fluctuating. Seems to work great in larger cities and even in Puerto Rico but stinks in Oceanview.
