Cuts me off constantly. My first very bad experience with Sprint reception, after living in multiple cities. Didn't expect that in Austin, the techie city. Come on, Sprint!

Just like many of the other people posting to this site I sit in one place and watch the bars go from zero to 5. The reception comes and goes even when I go outside. I usually end up holding most of my conversations on the front porch (less than ideal). I had been with AT&T for a number of years and had relatively good reception. That all changed with the switch to Cingular. I'm unhappy with the phone, the (lack of) customer service and the reception. Within a month of buying this phone the earpiece quite working. A few weeks later, the connection for the battery charger became difficult to use. It's a piece of junk

I-35 Upper Deck Near Hyde Park,

Calls are dropped when driving through Hyde Park between 45th and 51st St.and on the upper deck of Hyde Park. Coverage appears again shortly after. But calls are ALWAYS dropped right there.

I agree with the other comments that the AT&T switch to Cingular has resulted in a drop in coverage. Frankly, though, I had it with AT&T GSM too. GSM coverage in Austin is horrible. When I travel to other cities, I rarely get dropped calls or poor connections. In Austin it is a 3-4 times daily occurrence to have a dropped call. Cingular store people deny they hear complaints and blame it on the fact that Westlake Hills won't allow more towers. But it isn't a Westlake issue - calls are dropped all over town. Does anyone have a phone that at least minimizes the problem?

AT&T with Nokia rocked in my house for the last 8 years... they went downhill with Cingular. I have been through 4 different phones this week..they all suck except for the "freebie" Nokia 3120. I traded them all back in for the Nokia with no bells or whistles. If you are stuck with Cingular then do yourself a favor and get a Nokia - even if you have to get it from Ebay. And if the Ebay phone is "locked" it's really easy to unlock Nokia phones for your sim card. With AT&T I had full signal strenth 24 / 7; now I sit in my house and watch the bars go from 5 to 0 in 2 seconds - crazy! At least with Nokia I am able to dial out with 0 bars showing and it perks right up. I attribute that to Nokia, not Cingular. They suck at the moment. Hope they get better soon or they are gonna be hurting bad!

Like many others I used to be with AT&T and a Nokia phone and always had great coverage. Now that Cingular has taken them over I had to switch phones and to get one with the same features I had on my old Nokia I went with the Motorola V551. Now I can barely get a signal at home and it drops calls all over town or wherever I go. I am extremely disappointed so far and can only hope it improves as I have a one year contract!

Reception sucks at my house, always cracking up or dropping calls. Have a hard time dealing with it. Had AT&T and they had great reception, but terrible customer service. We need something better than the cell phone!

On the whole pretty good. Occassionally the phone will tell me I'm roaming (when I'm not) and occassionally a call will go straight to voice mail.
