Phones DO matter for reception
Just had another customer come into my store and say that CS told him it doesn't matter.
I WORK where reception is inconsistent and I will tell you this. An LG c1500 will NOT pick up reception as well as a Nokia 6010.
My top picks for reception (in no particular order)
Nokia 6010
Nokia 3220
Motorola v3 RAZR
Motorola E1 ROKR
Sony Ericsson z520a
Sony Ericsson w600i
The only one I would stay away from completely is the LG c1300 (for those stores that still have it) The c1300i is better though.
I'm sure everyone else will have alot to add or take away from this. Let's hear it! =)

I never had problems with my V551 (but my roomie did) I let him use mine for a bit, and he says mine had better reception than his, I checked them both -software, version and all that- and they were both the same! (weird eh?) Also my SLVR is being pretty good so far.....

The Rokr and the 3220?
You must sell used phones at your location, buddy. Those phones are WELL BEYOND their EOL.

We tend to hold on to EOL phones. You'd be surprised how many people call about those. Especially the Sony s710
...
are you cor? we are and still sell them and are still getting them from inventory/.
...
He is right in a sense - The ROKR is a E398 with different colored plastic and one extra software application installed. Yes, they are still making them, etc., but the core design is older.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.

That doesn't mean they don't do their job well.
I know people with Startacs who get better reception than some of the new Nokia and LG phones....

v551, nokia 3300, n-gage qd, sony ericsson s710, w660i, nokia 6620......hell any nokia. my v551 used to give me the network busy message sometimes but reception was good. these are my favorites. 🙂
...
Yeah, Nokia does a much better job on GSM....
CDMA? Hit or miss... some models rock, others are merely expensive paperweights.

take the motorola's out. they SUCK!!! stick with nokia and sony. best phones we sell.😁
...
Nokia 6102 is great, had samsung e317 which sucked...my last nokia was the nokia 3360 when cingular was TDMA, will never go back to samsung.
...
we had signal problems with 6102, nothing like the 6200, 6230, or even the 6010
...
Sorry but not every Nokia is good and not every Motorola is bad. It's not that simple.
...
i hate the razr its the worse phone ever made, how ppl like it is shocking.
...
People like anything that is either shiny or thin.
It isn't terrible; it works well as a phone, it just is way overpriced for what else it does.

True- But another thing to remember is the same model can perform different from market to market. Different markets use different network equipment. (Lucent, Ericsson, Siemens, Etc) This can even vary buy MTSO.
get with local RF guys, they can tell you which models perform best in your home market.

i agree with sangy i see the proof everyday moto may have its problems but the razr gets great reception and for the most part nokia and sony are the best
