    I'd be interested to know if this is really a software issue or just the fact that Sprint's network isn't that great.

    @Purple Monkey Dishwasher:


    I will say that I don't think it is a Sprint issue. I have a blackberry curve (Wife) and my Treo 755P never lost signal at home.


    Maybe the towers need a software upgrade as Sprint doesnt have a lot of 3G devices.


    I cant imagine a SP having issues with 3G and a new device.... Iphans start flaming........

    @grubish1: Nah, even the iPhone 3G had signal issues at first. Though, in that case I think I actually mostly blame AT&T for that one.


    Sprint's coverage has always seemed hit or miss for me.

    Nothing for me to pick up in my area. One of those unlucky "fringe" reception people that now receive nothing thanks to digitals shorter broadcast range.

    @andyr354: Ditto. I now can get the Religious station that is about 10 miles from the house. And that is it. Used to be able to get 25 or 30 channels from neighboring big cities, but being 75 miles away from all of them means we are now in a dead zone.


    I feel bad for the suckers outside of town without access to cable or high speed internet. Looks like Benny Hinn Ministries or nothing every night...for the rest of their lives.

    Well, all the channels I already got with regular broadcast are listed in green. Everything yellow or below I can't get with either digital or analog. In order to be set up for the digital transition, I'd need to buy at least four new recording devices with ATSC receivers, all from different manufacturers (so the remotes each only work on one device) and only basically benefit by getting a handful of "-2" channels that don't suck, or pay for piped TV. I'm friggen pissed as hell about the DTV transition, especially with how they can't even come clean and admit that the only reason they're forcing this on us is to clear up the analog bandwidth because it penetrates man-made structures better than digital signals, and they discovered that they didn't have enough capacity during the 9/11 attack. I don't really care that that's the true reason for the switch, but they've been feeding us all a line of bull about how reception will be better (yeah, just wait til the public finds out about pixelation due to a weak signal, and how difficult it is to tune in a digital signal without a new smart-antenna).
