Nokia 6255i / 6256i
Reception questions
Just wondering how the reception is on this phone when you only have 1 or two bars. I live in a rural area and my house is 10 miles from the nearest tower. So all I get is 1 to 2 bars.
...
I have been trained that bars don't matter. With CDMA, one bar is just as good as five. I have found this to be true with most cdma phones i have dealt with.
...
yeah I agree 2...I have a Nokia an older one but it works great even with just one bar. Lets c how this one is gonna be now...Nokia usually makes great phones..

I do not agree with the coments that the others have posted.
If you live in a weak signal area in CDMA, because of the way the power control is implemented, you WILL be transmitting higher power and therefore a lot more current (which increases exponentially with power). Your battery will run out of juice a lot faster compared to areas that have strong signal.
Reception would be OK if your antenna is good.
