Unfortunately the early reports of RF appear to be true. At least as compared to the 8100. Note that my comments are based upon being in a PCS area (old PrimeCo) and should be considered in that light. I suspect anyone in a cellular (800mhZ) VZW area would find the performance just fine.

The point is not what area you are in. The phones are portable and travel all around the country with the owner. This is the problem I had with LG. It would work in some areas and not in others. The RF is just too weak, and that silly stub antenna does not help much.
