Some people are lucky enough to be in the perfect spot where coverage is decent but they aren't necessarily the majority. ATT was crap so I went to Verizon. Although a little better around town, they still sucked inside my place. Sprint.... Don't want nothing to do with them..... I started using T-Mobile recently with the new 8900 which has UMA technology. Talk about a life saver. Voice/data coverage inside my condo is no longer an issue.

And in my basement apartment, where I used to get 3 bars with my Motorola, my Verizon Curve gets 4 or 5 bars consistently. No data problems at all. But I talked to someone yesterday who said her home in southern Iowa is in a Verizon dead zone, only US Cellular gets thru. I sure don't miss living near DC. :) Here in the middle of corn country (Iowa), I have yet to lose a call indoors or out, on the road or sitting still.

My wife and I used to carry Sprint Sanyo SCP-5500's (VM4500), and our phones worked in our house, except for the basement. The weird part was that they worked until you tried to hold the phone between your ear and shoulder. I got a BlackBerry 8830 WE, and I haven't really had problems since. My mother in law has one of their free phones, and she loses all coverage halfway down the stairs. The radio in the phone plays a big part in it as well.

I find myself outside a lot. The old bag phones used to get awesome reception all around the area. Sprint, Verizon and AT&T all get lousy coverage in buildings outside the I475 in my area.

I guess it depands on what job your in,buildings or on the road like me. Oh by the way all telus employees got their memos, that the 9630 is coming to telus this June.

Plus they don't help out on 34th. I guess I am lucky, I get good Verizon coverage in my house and I work from home. However, friends with Sprint get practically no service and ATT and TMO are marginal. I would say femtocell but I know you know about them already. Plus they don’t help out on 34th.
