Siemens SX66 / MDA III / PDA2K (HTC Blue Angel)
SX66 drops calls connectivity issue ?Anyone else ?
Hello all,
I know that Cingular has pulled this phone for sale.I was wondering if anyone has been experiencing a greater than normal amount of dropped calls with this phone?I can have 2 or 3 bars showing up on the meter. While talking on the phone it just drops the call. I have been a Verizon customer for the past 12 years. I am new to Cingular. Came over to Cingular because of the SX66.I never had dropped calls with Verizon. If you had 1or 2 bars the call worked.I was just wondering if its Cingular network or perhaps one of the reasons the phone may have been pulled?I read on the board here about issues with bluetooth. But, one would think that bluetooth could be easily fixed through a simple download.Is there more to this? Hmmm.My quest...

I have both the SX66 and a motorola V600 - they both pick up and drop calls equally. I don't think its a problem of the phones, but Cingular/ATT. Verizon often has better coverage - but in my experience - only just. With bluetooth I'm sure it's a function of battery life in the headset - see my review just posted.

I have heard that the phone was actually recalled due to some issues. This was directly from Siemens as far as i know though they are placing the responsiblity on the carriers to correct the Issue for the customers, only problem is that most carriers do not have a comparable model to switch out for the customer....Go figure Siemens has said that the phone will not be availabel again until March.
