Motorola SLVR L7
Good phone, crappy Cingular service =\
My friend, whom I never had reception issues with in the past, said to me on my first phone call to her with my new phone, "wow you sound like **** now, I dont like your new phone".
ugh!
I delt with it for about a week, having MANY DROPPED calls... really bad reception, people not hearing me, me not hearing anyone... even at times it seemed like my phone froze up (kinda like a frozen PC when it crashes) and I couldnt hang up a call - I had to power cycle the phone just to get it to hang up one time!
So I then go back to the Cingular s...
(continues)
My phone doesnt come with iTunes, it has some generic mp3 player (which I honestly barely use anyway).
I'm thinking about purchasing a replacement though.. but now I need to seek out a new place to get it... and it isnt going to be a branded-propriatary Cingular phone either. =p
Customer service at the store did not REFUSE to help you. There was nothing they could DO to help you.
Cingular has great reception. Is your phone Quad-band or Tri-band? That would make a difference too. If you call customer service now, they should be able to "zap" the software settings to your phone.
The unfortunate thing is, I think im getting used to it. =\
Oh, and you werent at the store with me.. they REFUSED to help me! If they would have done sometimes like appologize to me and say there was nothing they could do, that would have been a whole `nother ball of wax, and the internet probably wouldnt have heard about it.
So, you think I should call Cingular again and ask them to do something with the phone?

Set this to continous.
Once I did this there was a huge improvement.
I did the change Dandan, and ill give it a few days to see how it works out.
Ill post back here and let you know how it went.
(BTW, my speed was set to Medium)
for better reception...?

Have you bothered to consider that maybe that it's a defective? considering that it freezes? drops calls like crazy? you can't hear or people can't hear you? sounds like a defective like me
