Best of the Best

T-MO/voicestream
ATT (old and new)
Verizon
Sprint

That is easily a matter of opinion
AT&T - Nokia 6010
That is the only company I am really familiar with. 😁

uum i would have to say no. wether or not a person likes the phone color, style, and form factor are matters of opinion. Signal strength is another story. it either is or isn't. no one can say "my opinion is the signal is strong on this phone" it either is or isn't

are, to my understanding, simply a mathmatical algorithm used to indicate signal...4 bars on one hadset may equal 2 on another...they are helpful, but with digital signal, you either have it or you don't...not like old analog...

🤣 I thought JB was dead. Good to see you freshen up your gravatar from time to time.

at Verizon.....they have the same reception, you are paying for the bells and whistle the phone does, not for better reception, and you have 30 days to return phone if it doesnt wk out for you.

Not necissarily true...
At least 3 factors are involved.
The RF power of the handset and operating frequency of the system (CDMA vs PCS vs GSM)
The system load at the given time of the test (coverage areas will shrink under heavy loads)
The Terrain and weather conditions at the time of test.
Traditionally Qualcomm chips found in LG and UTstarcomm phones will have less total RF power, but a better ability to grab a signal that has deviated from its centering frequecy. Moto and Samsung are products that are better (generally) in weak EC/Inot conditions, but not so much with an 'out of tune' system...
of course these are stereotypes, but they are generalities that tend to be accurate.
