RF on this phone is good. Better than the 8000. But remember, neither phone is tri-mode so overall reception and coverage is not as good at the 9900, which IS tri-mode.

Thanks, jimspobox. I agree, I doubt the overall reception and coverage will be as good as the 9900, I have two that I'm using one now, one on Single Rate plan and the other on AC plan, and I just love the phone. 😁 However, I kept hearing people said the digital coverage is getting better everyday, some even said they never go into roam, but I travel a lot and I don't want to end up with roam charges until I'm sure that all cell towers has been coverted to digital. Been there, done that, and the roam charges are outrages. Here's a question for you or anyone that may know, if I have a tri-mode phone on AC plan, and somehow ended up in an analog only town, will I be able to make calls with my tri-mode phone? My guess is you can but you will ...

This phone has AWESOME RF reception, but I am only comparing to my old Kyocera 2235 (which I thought was still pretty decent). I am getting one to two bars in places where I would get zero bars before. I hate all the little annoyances of this phone (SD card functionality, photo ID only on inside screen, etc.) and was considering retuning it for the 8000, but may just keep it because it has such good recption and call quality. After all, that's what a cell phone is all about...phone calls.
