Brand New Service Survey - Guess Who Won Hands Down
The January 2008 Consumer Reports arrived at my home today. They have a special cell phone section on pages 30 through 44.
There is a multi-page report on cell phone service covering 47,629 responses to their most recent survey in September 2007. The ratings again cover twenty major metropolitan area across the US. There are numerical Reader scores and graphic survey results for the following four criteria: No service, Circuits full, Dropped calls and Static.

The issue is now on the news stands. There's lots of good reading. Buy it or read it in the library for free.
Clearly, the blue striped globe didn't look very good.

Consumer Reports sucks! It caters to mainstream, common, everyday individuals who can't make up their mind on whether or not to save $2 by shopping at Wal-Mart vs Target!

"Consumer Reports sucks! It caters to mainstream, common, everyday individuals"
Obviously written by a non-mainstream, non-common, non-everyday genius.

Yeah you are right. Any magazine that represents 90% of the population has no merit. I would much rather make purchases based on the opinions of niche group of people, maybe albino midgets with masters degrees who were raised by same sex couples, rather than the opinions of main steam, everyday people.

Isn't it amazing how Consumer Reports which respresents the MAJORITY of Americans must be incorrect and "suck", when independent companies outside of the industry that states at&tingular has the fewest dropped calls is 100% accurate?

I'm sure Verizon won it again. They won the last JD Power call rating survey pretty handily.
Be prepared for all the folks who didn't win to complain and cry about how awful Consumer Reports is for not rating their pet carrier higher, tho'. 🙄

...and Consumer Reports is one of the few magazines that tells you that the most important consideration, even above "who's best", is personal coverage. They have helped me make better purchases over the years than I could have without them.
I have argued at length with some of these naysayers who insist that only "experts" are qualified to make analysis of networks and phones.
But how difficult is it to know whether something works ...

Well, for those who don't subscribe to Consumer Reports and haven't read the detailed survey results in the January 2008 issue...

being the at&t guy that i am, i won't say i think they have something against at&t/cingular, but look at the cell phone ratings. why did they rate 19 verizon phones and only 7 at&t phones? and actually it's only 6 phones because at&t doesn't carry the sony ericsson k790...
* they also only rated 6-7 phones for other carriers as well... but to get an honest rating of phones, wouldn't they try x amount from all carriers?
