Nothing besides reception........it's horrible indoors.....atrocious. One of the buildings I can't get any reception in is where I spend most of my day at school.....so it's pretty much useless for me during the weekdays.

I was at my friend's apt today and I had 0 bars out of 3.......none. His 3 year old Nokia had the full 6 or 7 bars. It's really disappointing because I really liked the way it looks. I also thought about the V600, but again, online it was said it has reception problems as well.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

i have the v600 with Miniantenna. And i dont have any issues, maybe its your software?

 

[nosubstitute959]

I don't have any software installed. And if I did, how can that interfere with reception?

I'm really diappointed I'm going to have to return this phone.......I love the "slow jamz" mp3 ringtone I have. Any other non-Motorola phones that have that capability?

All cell phones haves software installed.

Maybe you just got a buggy software installed. Some operators in the states haves crappy software. For more info: www.howardforums.com they can answer all.

You can also update your v300 to a v600. It costs 10-15$.

If you desperatly want a new phone, then id choose SE k700i if i was you, its the best phone out there.

bugger that, just download new firmware from a forum and flash it using the cable

Well I guess I am lucky that I don't haven any reception problems.

I'll see what the people at that site can do. But , like I said...many people were criticizing Motorola online for poor reception.

YES......this thread is still alive blackmint, be quiet.

I'm getting tired of this cell phone ordeal and I'm about to just say screw it.....I don't want a phone.

Alright.......let's see if someone can help me. I'm trying to pick a phone from a1wireless.com for either Cingular or T-Mobile (or if anyone else has tried the other providers and found their signal good, then fine.......oh, and no motorolas until I prove/disprove that it's the phone's fault) that has MP3 ringtone capability and good reception. That's all I ask......don't give a rat's a$$ about a camera, or games, or internal/external antenna......etc....none of that crap concerns me.

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

well, we all know i am not the right person to ask so i ll pass on this

I feel bad now man, sorry

 

[nosubstitute959]

No man.......not your fault at all. I mean you didn't lie to me. It DID work fine with you, and other than the reception, I love the phone, especially the MP3 ringtones. I don't blame you at all.

And now the bad stuff.

3660:

-Big
-Ugly
-Heavy (130g )
-No FM Radio
-No MP3 player
-Only 12 secs video recording
-bad zoom

7610:

-Big
-Heavy
-No FM Radio
-No stereo sound, only Mono sound. And therefor not good as an MP3-player
-Non IR-port
-The zoom quality is bad.


And beetween E715 and v300. Then i would personly choose the v300. The only thing E715 is superior is the blitz, and videorecording. On all the other aspects, the v300 is better!

actually u can install mp3 player (ultra mp3 player) in 3660

i've did tht,quality is awesome, i have 12 mp3's nw,all tiesto

btw fvck the zoom,camera image quality rox dude ..

and for the screen size of the phone,, it's not bad

I just bought a new cell phone. It's a Motorola V300 Camera phone with service from T-Mobile. Hopefully T-Mobile will be a good provider for my area.

 

[Majed]

not my type of phone... I'm not too fond of the Motorola brand in general either, though T-Mobile is a good provider.

One of the first GSM carriers in the US.

I'm with T-Mobile too... That way i can send messages to the rest of the world. (though they just raised the international message cost from $0.05 to $0.15 a message :groan: )

PS since you just started with T-Mobile, call them and see if you can still change your phone number to a better one (if you haven't already). The Random ones that they give are usually dull (not that it's that important)..

Sounds like something I could've said last week. My experience with T-Mobile has been horrible and my friends with Cingular get better reception than me everywhere we go. I have ordered a V400 and I'm going to try Cingular now.....but there's no going back so I hope that $hit works. :fero:

Cingular's international SMS is $0.20 while the local is $0.10........garbage.

I could have told you that... T-mobile reception in NO is pretty good, but everytime i go to BR, i lose my signal. T-Mobile doesn't cover "rural" areas (YET)

 

[nosubstitute959]

You #%$^%&^%!! :fero:

Well.....apparently Cingular does...........so I'm going with them.

Yeah good idea Majed.

Anyways you say service is bad in rural areas; I live in sort of a rural area, although heavily populated areas are no more than 10 miles away, and DC is only 50 miles away. I hope they have it covered.

Here... This should help you make a choice.. The links take you to BR's coverage areas for your top 3 GSM networks in the USA.

T-Mobile
Cingular
AT&T

From this, I'd say that Cingular is your best bet.
