1. Live in Ashburn, VA and commute to Washington, DC daily. I also go to SoCal monthly.
2. T-Mobile (for the past 3 days), Sprint for the past 7 years (cancelled now).
3. Motorola Razr, brand new, no idea about the firmware but the "flex version" is se8613Axxl1048.
I was always happy with my Sprint service, but I wanted this phone, and it was worth it to me to switch. Plus I can use the new phone on the metro, underground. Super cool.

1.) Dublin, CA (SF Bay Area)
2.) AT&T Wireless/Cingular
3.) Motorola V505 (soon to be Nokia 6230b), I get about 2-4 bars in my area, which
happens to be a cell phone dead zone of sorts. When I work in Oakland and SF I
get full bars. Been with AT&T for 4 years and have used both their TDMA and GSM
(old & new) services.

1) Bay Area (Walnut Creek to be exact)
2) Verizon for the last 5 years. My company has a nationwide contract with them, so I'm tied. Reception is generally excellent, few if any dropped calls.
3) Blackberry 7250 as of about two weeks ago. My sense is that the BB is a little buggier than the LG VX 4400 that I had before. Some calls don't make it through on initial dial, earpiece sometimes needs to be removed and reinserted to hear, and I miss the voicedial feature. But it paired with the HFL in about 3 minutes and the sound quality in the car is good. No echoes that I or the person on the other side, can detect.

ingular - great reception after cingular bought AT&T - 2 Years
Razr V3 - works great with the MID, only problem is if you want to make a call from the hgandset t doesnt connect to the handset for like 2sec after the call gets connected. and if you dial from the handset and want to transfer it to the HFL you have to wait till the call is connected.
S.E. S710a - works great with MID, only problem is that it always says your roaming on the head unit. and sometimes it says there are low bars when i have full bars on the phone.
in short both phones work good enough for me.

Motorola V710 with latest software update.
I get battery and signal strenght info. Funny, I usually answer so fast that I don't give the caller ID time to display, so I don't know if it works or not. I'll have to check.

I shoot people
1) I'm in Dana Point, Cali.
2) I have two cell. phones: Sprint and Verizon
3)All and all... both phone's receptions are about the same, I would say 3 to 4 bars, rarely all 5... BUT, the building where I work is at the bottom of a hill... and apparently, the only cell. phone service that comes in clear is Verizon... again, ONLY at the spot where the building is... if you walk to the street corner... Sprint's clear again.
