I have had miserable signal strength, with T-Mobile popping out of range even as I sit still. What has everyone else in the area found? What about other GSM providers.

Cheers.

lol @ 701

Yea, Im over here in the westcoast and it also pops in and out, only noticed twice while i was sitting in my clients house, but his house also seems to block out other phones also...

Noticed BAD recpetion areas:

1.Airport- sometimes ill have fullsignal but it still wont send call. Airport is the worst place i have been encountering

2.Hospital- Just need to take a few steps to grab full strength, then it seems to remain strong entire call.

3.Altamonts- I was expecting the phone to work in and out of altamonts, AT&T's do, I was figuring TMobiles would also.

Other than that I hold strong signals.

Well, being a T-Mobile subscriber for two years in NYC, I've noticed people get a lot of 'subscriber out of area' errors when trying to call me. I have no idea how many calls I might have missed. That's GSM in the States for you. Cingular piggy-backs on T-Mobiles lines in the city.

It's either that or get a CDMA phone for Verizon or Sprint. No thanks.
