Wireless companies that don't suck?

[jftb.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone,
I'm looking into a new wireless plan and I'm wondering which carriers have the best reception in this neighborhood. I've heard Cingular's coverage here is horrible; I currently have Verizon but I drop calls from time to time, and occasionally watch, mystified, as I go from 4 bars to 1 by simply shifting position in my chair. Any recommendations?

I have had no problems with Cingular anywhere in Medford/Somerville.

My god, mine is atrocious. Is there any chance there's something wrong with my phone? It was like this when I lived in Brighton, too.

I've got a Razr and my reception has been fine anywhere I've gone.

I (now) have a Razr on Cingular too and my reception is spotty on the Tufts campus and its environs.

No problems with Cingular anywhere Somerville/Cambridge. I've got a crappy little Nokia that was free[*] with the plan.

[* Technically, it as -$10, since it was a $20 phone with a $30 signing rebate...]

Sorry, not Nokia; Siemans.
