I am having some reception issues when inside my place of employment. I laid a V551 next to my phone at different locations today, and the V551 would be maxed with bars, and my phone would be jumping up and down, but mostly staying down.

If I select "automatic" for the network configuration, I will get a rock-solid 5 bars when my phone connects to the Cingular network (close to my house) but a rather dismal 1 or 2 bars if it flips over (automatically) the the ATT network.
