Well, it's not scientific, just anecdotal, but Nokia is the de facto reception king. I've own hundreds of phones--literally--and Nokia phones have consistently outperformed ever other phone I've own. Right now, I would argue that the Nokia 6230 gets the best reception of all current Cingular phones.

i can vouch that the 3120 and 6230 both get better reception than my v551

i had explained this story in an earlier post but i was at a party a little distance outside of DC and i had no reception and sometimes i would get 1-2 bars if i stood in specific places in the house, while my friends with their 3120 and 6230 had 3 bars all night and made calls clearly.

kinda made me mad so now im anxiously bidding on a 6620 or 6230 on ebay

hopefully can get a good price on one before the weekend is up
