Hi,
I am thinking of switching from T-mobile to cingular. I am wondering if any USERS can tell me what the service is like in the nyc area - manhattan, brooklyn, queens, and bronx. Is it spotty, does it work well indoors? any personal info is greatly appreciated. I will mainly be making phone calls indoors, and would like to have good coverage.

Also, let me know if your phone works well in nyc - especially if it's a Razr v3, the ericsson z520a, or the samsung x497. Thanks!

Used to live in NYC area for while. Coverage there is fine. You should be ok indoors, it will be a little spotty with older bldgs in certain areas. Bldgs like the Met and Gug are ok, old bldgs like some of the nightspots are ok. Sub-basements can be trickey, but that goes for all carriers.

I am a consumer. I live in NYC (West Village). and I have the RAZR v3i, but previously owned both the silver and black razrs. Say what you want about features or lack thereof, but hands-down these have been the best phones for reception on Cingular in NYC, in my opinion! I've had the Moto v600, Treo 600, Treo 650 and two from Samsung. The razrs are consistent with 4 to 5 bars ALWAYS. Indoor is great also, and this coming from a former Verizon customer, who in 2003 had to stick my head out of my apartment window to answer my then v60c cellphone. My experience has been great with this phone and Cingular. Yours may differ... look the phone up on the boards and check the user reviews...
