I have the same problem, also a cingular customer. I am from NY and I have terrible signal at home, here at work on the 21st floor in manhattan however I have all 5 bars. I have my calls dropped at home and at college sometimes, but at work everything is AOK. With my old verizon sim free t720 I had full signal everywhere, at home and at work, also the funny thing is, my parents have the Cingulaer Black Razr fphones and they get fine signal strength at home, even though I barely have 1 or 2 bars, even next to the window.

By the way, I called cingular earlier, and the half brained lady on the other side kept telling me how some places have bad recpetion and different phones have different antennas and all the bullcrap. I dont see why my phone can't get a freakin good signal and a Razr can, whats up sony?? Did you make a booboo, should I get another phone? The camera is great but I can alwyas buy a seperate camera and get a nice cheap comfortable phone with GOOD RECEPTION....I hope these basterds come out with a FW update that will hopefully fix this problem, otherwise, I'm getting another phone, I got this phone mostly for college, and it has terrible signal inside, so no thx.

Hey guys, I am a Cingular customer as well and I have the same problem. The reason for this is because our K750i works in a 900MHz Frequency and Cingular operates mostly on 850Mhz. The Razr was made to work with cingular therefore was designed with a 850 MHz band. I have no solution for you guys though, I am just as frustrated, but look at it from the bright side: my phone doesn't even work in Cincinnati, they work only on 850Mhz. So we are lucky I guess to be able to use it here.

There's no way to tweak it to work on a 850 MHZ band? I'd take it apart if I had to just to make the damn thing work better... Can this be done with firmware?

I actually have no idea, but I think that is impossible though, it has to be hardware. What I was thinking was probably a signal booster of some kind, cause I still get signal it's just really week, therefore it drops a lot of calls.

There is nothing that we can do untill cingular upgrades there towers to a stronger 1900 freq.

I am also on Cingular in North Carolina and am considering getting the w800i. I was worried that this phone did have an 850 band. However, this map shows the 1900 band coverage (red color) and it looks like I would be ok. If I know I am going somewhere that does not have 850 I can put my sim in my Samsung phone.

Im on Cingular Currently. Yeah I did notice that cingular had a poor coverage in Bermuda. I think the only reason for this happening is because the company who branched cingular in Bermuda previously had very small amounts of towers located around the island. If you go to
www.gsmworld.com you can check to see what the coverage for any network in your area. Also i only choose cingular because it was the only GSM provider that was business orientated and that fact that they had faster GPRS speeds as well as allowing EDGE to be availble on the Bermudian Market. And also because they are debating on introducing 3GSM or 3G to Bermuda!!!! Thats why me as well as a couple of good friends picke up some 3G phones....
Cingular Rocks!!!! i have mMode data plan any1 here can tell me what Media Net is like??
