Verizon coverage
Why does it seem that I never get good coverage. My buddys at&t service works good here in WA. He even has an iPhone.

It's probably just the handset that you are using. Try a different phone.

*228 send from your handset, option 2. if that doesn't help, then you're just not in a good Verizon coverage area (believe it or not, this sometimes occurs...) The phone? Eh, I have had crappy Verizon phones and the coverage has still been good, so I'm not sure I'm buying that idea, although if you're in a spotty area, your best bet is definitely MOTOROLA.

cheap samsungs seems to really struggle in low coverage areas. once you get up to messaging phones they tend to be fine, but beware of the "freebies"

I agree about Motorola. My old E815 would work on VZW where my friends standing next to me had no coverage with their VZW LG or Samsung phones.

While I will agree on LG phones, as my mother had the LG VX5500, and that was an overall crappy phone. She has the Samsung Smooth, and she has good reception with that phone. I've had both the Samsung a650 & a930, and had good reception with them. My Motorola W755 is ok for 1X reception, but doesn't work as well for EVDO. At least my phone, it doesn't pickup the EVDO signal as well unless I'm away from the tower. If I'm near the tower, I'll get 4 bars on 1X, but only 1 bar on EVDO, and won't always connect to anything requiring EVDO s...

It all depends on where you are.
Every phone reads a little different. At my house motos work, lg works in half the house, BlackBerry works in 2/3 of the house and Samsung I have to go outside. I have tried many models over many years and that has been the average as far as manufactures go where I live. Now on the same note I have been places where my LG works and previous owned BB's and Motos have not. The only phone I have ever had to get decent data speeds was my old pearl... much better then the Storm.
My other issue is that motos may work better but their offerings are boring and there build quality and UI are both lacking to other manufactures.... Here is hoping for a good showing on the new Android
