wifi reception vs normal reception
Im new to the board but i cuurently have a bb tour with no wifi and i get horrible reception at my office because of the tint on the windows ive been told ? i see that the newer bb phones such as tour 2 and storm 2 have wifi even a curve 2 if wifi helps with my constant dropped calls !! will this improve my reception while at work since we have a strong wireless signal at the office i work in ?? i have an upgrade available to use if wifi will help ? THANKS in advance for any advice !!

You need a UMA capable phone for that. And TMO is the only one that offers it.

so no phone can help with reception problems at all ? i do all the updates but nothing seems to help !! i walk outside and i have perfect reception !!
...
its not that no phone can help with reception....its just that WIFI is data-only (internet connections FYI). your phone has CDMA technology for voice.
if you work in a large building, it may block some of the reception....you may need to call and have them reset your tower registration.

Go to VZW and tell them your trouble, maybe they'll suggest a different Blackberry?
...
Talk to your other co-workers and see if other providers work better in your building. If its enough of an issue, switching carriers might be the only solution.

My thoughts exactly. Why drop $400-$600 for a new phone when about $200 and an ethernet cable will solve the problem for everybody in the office?
This is exactly what femtocells are for: indoor coverage in urban/suburban areas with challenging geographic problems.

I had the same problem- for about $200 one time purchase fee I got a VZW network extender-gives me 5 bars within 1500 ft of my office & uses the internet like VOIP. Works really good.
