Any phones match RF of 3120?

I am on the Blue side with a 2 line Family Talk plan. Both lines currently use the 3120. I am blown away by the reception and sound quality of this phone. I had a 6230b for a short while and have to say this phone has it beat on RF. I am feature hungry which creates my problem. Is there anything out there that will match this phone in terms of RF? I am considering migrating as my current plan isn't much different than what Orange is currently offering.

RF is important as GSM reception in my area is somewhat weak. How is the SMT5600 in this category? v551?

Dunno about the SMT, but the v551 or the RAZR can be great. OTOH, some of them are not so great; there's inconsistency in their quality. It's hard to beat Nokia's reception quality in general, just use your return period when/if you upgrade.

Surprising. The 6230b should have the 3120b beaten. The 6682 should be the best bet (once the firmware is updated), great RF, quality and tons of features.

The 3120 is definitely not a reception king. My e317 has better reception than the 3120, and the e317 isn't a reception king, either. I am sure most phones will give you at least the same reception that you have.

I would say, RAZR would beat 3120 hands down in reception department. So would the Nokia 6230.

I used a 3120 for awhile, but found that my 6010 had better reception, so I went back to the 6010.

My W600 beats Razr and 6230b by a large margin. I have already tested with my friends. Conversations are held clearly and steady in low signal areas. Sony fix its rf department 100%.
