Motorola RAZR V3c
Low Fringe Reception for Razr?
My wife and I just switched from Cingular TDMA to Verizon last week and bought a pair of Verizon Razrs. She even shelled out an extra $30 for the Pink one! Anyway, so far I have been less than impressed with the reception. We have little service in our house which will probably get worse as the leaves come out on the trees. We had none with Cingular and switched to Verizon after watching many friends answer their Verizon phones and carry on perfectly normal conversations in our home.
I was on the Easter Shore of Maryland on Saturday and compared my Razr to my father-in-law’s Verizon Motorola E815 and found that he had at least one if not two more bars as we drove though some notorious fringe reception areas. His phone rang when mine went straight to voice mail. I also noticed that the clock lagged behind his from 1 to 10 minutes - I am assuming this is because I completely lost reception (and thus Verizon time sync) for periods of time.
Is poor reception a known Razr trait? Are phone with built in antennas inherently worse than ones with an exposed antenna? There seems to be a lot of phone comparisons based on features – any based on reception? We have 10 days to get this figured out in order to trade in our Razrs. Any help is appreciated!!
