LG VX-6100
One last gasp. Need RF Phone Recommendations for Fringe area signal--ASAP!
Here's the deal. I'm in a 1900 (PCS) area and am experiencing very marginal RF reception on a 6100. I know I can force mode to the 800 band but I don't want to or have to be switching back and forth necessarily. Currently the LG 6100 hunts in and out between the main network, extended, and occassionally, no service throughout the day at my desktop at work.
I've tried a 7000 and an 8000. Similar results though obviously digital only switching.
I can't take it any more.
For me a 710 is out of the running. My questions are this:
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ONE:
--Will a Moto v265 pull stronger than the 6100 in an identical area? Enough to make a call where the 6100 will not at -104 or so Rx. power?
--Same question for the Nokia 6015i....

YES! I sold my 6100 after I got the 265. The 265 has significantly stronger RF. I can place and receive calls places where I got no signal on the 6100. I tested them back-to-back. The 265 blew the 6100 away. The 265 is certainly not as beautiful, but it sure is a RF workhorse. If you value function over form and are do not need a large internal screen you'll be very happy with the 265. I'm not into texting, web, etc. so the smaller screen of the 265 is not an issue for me.

wow.. is it really that much of a difference? i'm in the same boat. I travel ALL over the place. and needa phone that works. I've had sprint, cingular, and nextel. Now i'm about to try verizon.. so what's the best one out there??? the motorola 265 or what??

for best toy/useless phone - the LG. for a usable phone w/ the best reception - the moto without a doubt.
