Capitol Hwy. | Barbur Blvd.,

3-4 bars mostly. Last year, service was pretty bad ie: dropped calls, calls not coming through, bad reception, etc. Now... ... it seems since Sprint bought-out Nextel things are much, much better! Anyone else experience this? I noticed not many comments on Sprint. Considered switching, but I just might stick with Sprint. Also, one last note, as long as I have one steady, stable bar- just 1, I get crystal clear calls!

Poor coverage- calls drop off consistantly. Several other cariers have this area saturated

Killingsworth and Alberta | NE 52nd,
Portland, OR 97218 |
We had AT&T for several years and never had any problems. Had to do the Cingular switch because a phone got stolen - which coincided with moving from Sellwood to NE and now standing in the house or yard you can watch the bars go from 1 to 4 to 3 to 2 to 4 to none in a matter of minutes. During a 20 minute phone call we'll probably have to call back at least 3 times because the call drops - if I can make the call at all. Had a bunch of people over the pther night and had them all test their signal strengths - no one with AT&T / Cingular could get a good signal. Sprint was fair but also up and down, Verizon was pretty good, T-Mobile the winner. Now if only we could switch without it costing a fortune... ..

The shadow of Mt Scott seems to block out some reception; move around the mountain or up it and signal returns to 5 bars.

Halsey | 122nd,
Portland, OR 97220 |
70% of calls are good. I blame reception more on the phone than the network, my old Nokia worked fine here. Halsey / Glisan near Glendover Golf Course drop almost all the time for me.

SE 39th Ave. | SE Holgate,
Portland, OR 97202 |
Given my experience with the SE Division dead spot (30th to 40th), where I work, and the SE Belmont dead spot (15th to 35th), where I used to live, I consider myself lucky to live at this intersection, which is one of the best places to talk on a T-Mobile in the city, as far as I can tell.

SE Division | SE 30th To SE 43rd,
Portland, OR 97202 |
Huge dead spot, calls drop almost every time I drive down this busy, thriving street almost in the middle of town. This is more or less comparable to having no reception in, say, Brooklyn Heights. This area is urban, not far-flung wilderness; you'd think you could get calls here.

Lakeridge High School,
Lake Oswego, OR 97034 |
Coverage in and around the school is excellent. Very few dropped calls, and excellent data coverage. The only weak spot is in the lower science wing which has 12in Concrete walls.

Lake Oswego, OR 97034 |
Frequent dropped-calls, dead-zones, and spotty over-all coverage. Even with the antenna extended, the phone has either 1 bar with the "Extended network" or no coverage at all.

3 Way Stop, Near Dino's Pizza, Going Towards the L,
Lake Oswego, OR 97034 |
A consistent dead Spot. Sprint has always had poor coverage. The phone itself seems to work fine, but the call quality of the Sprint network is scratchy, not to mention the sporadic dead spots.
