1. New York - Mainly used in westchester county as well as southern Connecticut and NYC.

2. Cingular - 1 week previously with T-mobile.

3. V600 - works like a charm with the HFL. Improved reception with Cingular. T-mobile has gone to crap. Also a slight delay in answering calls on HFL. But nothing to be disappointed about.

1. Orange, California. I live a stone's throw from Anaheim Stadium.

2. Cingular (about 4 years). I love Cingular. Never had a single problem with them - I think their nationwide rate plans (especially rollover) are the best.

3. Motorola v705. It's an OK phone.

Atlanta, Cingular, V600

Finally! It works! I have had the old software since I got the car in April. Motorola finally agreed to swap the phone because no one locally could provide the software upgrade (TRIPLETS_G_0B.09.4DR). Voila! All is well.

Cingular - Atlanta
V600
MID: Signal, Caller ID (no battery)

1.) Where are you located? Summit, NJ
2.) Who is your mobile provider? Verizon

3.) What phone do you use and what kind of reception (signal strength) do you get? Also include what displays on the MID when you pair.

Motorola V710, flashed with the SuperDave firmware. Thus, I get all daat when paired, including signal strength and battery charge.

Between Verizon's superior network, especially in the Northeast, and the V710's strong radio, I get great reception.
