I currently have a Nokia 6800 and by far this is the best phone I've ever owned that is incredible at its reception (my last 4 phones I couldn't even use them in my own house!). So now I'm looking to upgrade.

I'm currently looking at the:
Samsung E715
Nokia 6600 and 6820

How are these on reception?

Any other phones out there with really good reception?

BTW: I'm looking for a GSM 1900 since I have cingular service.

Thanks guys.

 

dunno... just whorin through tho... hehe

 

Just so you know, fyi.

There are no GSM phones that work in the US that don't include the 1900MHz frequency. And any good tri-mode phone from overseas will also include 1900Mhz for the US. Like the Nokia 6600 which I consider one of the best phones on the market today, period (I do have one).

Also you may want to seek out a newer phone that has 850mHz which is being deployed in the US for GSM. To my knowledge, there are no areas in the US that operate on 850 alone (i.e. everywhere you find the new 850, there should be 1900), it is a minor but distinct advantage to having this extra band in your new phone (long story).

 

How do you like the 6600? I was considering that phone. Seems expensive though. Pros & cons?

 

I like it. Can't say much for the T-Mobile network I use it on but the phone is pretty nice. Some would say it is on the large side but I think it feels just right. The display is awesome, the software runs a little slow, but I can play long videos/movies/commercials on it using a 256mb MMC.
