I have found with a rural carrier that the Nokia phones actually seem to have some of the strongest signal over many other brands. I can't vouch for Sanyo since they are Sprint only in the US. My VX4400 works fine, but a Nokia 358x for example still would work in many fringe areas that the VX4400 wouldn't as well.
Then again ... this all depends on the carrier, obviously!

It's about time Nokia realized that 2/3 of the US market is CDMA. Their only problem is their reluctance to use the Qualcomm chipset which makes their phones perform with some quirks. But hey they make indestructable phones with an easy to use menu, good looks and third party vendors make accessories that really trick them out.

Nokia phones run into problems if there is a CDMA signal that the phone can read even if it is a roaming signal then the phone will ignore the analog signal in favor of a digital signal.
You can be within sight of a home analog tower and a distant roaming CDMA signal can be read by the phone the Nokia phone will ignore the analog signal. This has been a problem in rural markets where USCC and VZW have a border. VZW has CDMA on darn near every tower and USCC has not built out their CDMA footprint as well.
