I just switched from AT@T to Cingular and got the Motorola V551 phone. Unfortunately, I've tested it out and it has spotty reception. It doesn't drop calls, but everyone I talk to tells me that my voice is distorted. I actually swapped it for a new one and have the same problem.

I'm in Omaha, Nebraska. Yeah I think i'll pass on the reception enhancers. They really didn't seem to help very much at all.

How do you get the new software? I was on
the phone with Cingular all morning telling
them I wanted the new software...I just got
my phone last week, and it has the old version in it....they told me basicly that I didn't
know what I was talking about, there was not
any other software....any ideas? I'd sure
appreciate it!
