My upgrade 2 upgrades ago (prolly 3 years) made for a DRAMATIC increase in the reception I got. I loved my Nokia 8260 but I couldn't carry a conversation from work in Fairfax to home in Leesburg without losing it at least twice on the Greenway. When I upgraded I didn't drop a call once on the Greenway. Of course, at that point it was a different band (something to GSM? I don't know) with newer technology but it cememnted in my mind that the phone matters.
P.S. - Sprint sucks regardless of what Matt says. He hasn't had service in like his last 4 houses.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
