I really wish you had access to someone with a phone that has the 850 MHz overlay. The difference is very noticiable. I don't live in your market. It really is too bad that most sales offices don't have loaner phones. You might ask just in case they do.
Would like an opinion on the signal strength of gsm vs. digital on the at&t network in the San Francisco Bay Area. "How many bars do you have?"
