Question for anybody in Balto-Was. DC area
I used to have Nextel and switched to Cingular because I had a lot of dropped calls. Can anyone in the Balto-Was (mainly Balto.) area give some insight on how this hybrid service with ic502 phone compares to Nextel only service? Thanks.

Dont do it!!!!! there is no 850 on that crap phone and you'll have no service in many areas

If you intend on using the hybrid exclusively in the BaWa area you shouldn't have too much of an issue as this market is mainly 1900Mhz.
Note, I'm not saying that the phone will work flawlessly but the 850Mhz CDMA is a bit of a non issue for this area.

a bit of a non issue my butt i live in 1900 land and I still needed the 850 even in a dense 1900 area!! anyways if you ever plan to travel outside that area chances are good you'll be screwed.

Thanks for the replies. The service map I saw confirms what both of you say about the 1900 being dense in this area. I can't find anyone in this area that has this service, but the sales reps say that their customers seem to be happy with it. Corpsman-up, you make the arguments that I am concerned about. I want to hear some Balto. area user opinions. Also, a sales rep told me that the ic902 may not come out until June. I'll see how long I can wait...

I live in essex, and work in glen burnie. I have not had any problems with my sprint phone, i had nextel and nextel was horrible in essex. you should be straight with CDMA, i have the m1 which only runs on 1900 here.

no problem. only place i know where i drop a call is the ft mchenry tunnel, then again, so do a lot of other people. i have no problems going over the key bridge though, where a lot of people i know drop a call while going over there.
