Phone with best reception ability?
Hi, I've asked this before, but with all of the new phones out I'm wondering what current Sprint phone has the best reception. I'm betting the Nokia or Sanyos... which one(s) specifically though? I need one that will get a good signal in a basement as my Samsung is horrible.

I have a Sanyo 5300 and live in a half basement apt in a brick building in a wierd area of seattle and have a near perfect signal even in the depths of my apt. I also have a Nokia 6200 which ATT says has just about the best reception, and while the nokia is above average, I never use it because it doesn't hold a candle to the 5300

I am still carrying a Motorola Timeport.
I live in an area with weak Sprint coverage. Other family members are also on Sprint but with different phones. My sister-in-law has the Samsung, her husband the Nokia and their uncle has Sanyo. BTW the uncle also live in a area with weak coverage.
My service on my Motorola phone is OK (not really bad but no so great either) they are basically out of service when at my house or when we are at the Uncle house. Again I still get service when the Nokia, Sanyo and Samsung are out of service.
So in a side be side, same service, different phones the Motorola is the hands down winner. If My Timeport gives out and Sprint is not selling new Moto phones I will move over to Verizon.

There's no denying the majority view on any forum that Sanyos beat Samsungs. Being a Sprint newbie, all I can say is my Samsung VGA1000 gives me no reception problems whatever. Including in my basement. I had an LG4400 from Verizon that went in and out of Extended Area in my basement (and most everywhere else too). My various Nokias with ATTWS sometimes registered No Service in my basement, but move it a foot and they were fine. There's always the return period if it doesn't work out!
