Well at least it's tacit acknowledgment that the signal was bad before!
The east bay, including Lafayette, Orinda, and Moraga, as well as the
tri-valley area has been especially problematic for Cingular coverage
until recently. I noticed that Pleasanton, east of Santa Rita road, is
much improved recently as well, but I haven't been out on 24 in a while
to check. It'll be interesting to see what the surveys show next year
and in 2009. Cingular may finally be getting their act together and
within two years may have coverage as good as Verizon's.

On the contrary -- it's just not 5 bars all the way. My V551 has been
able to hold a call along that route for quite a long time.

Only if you have a crap phone.

Actually better than Verizon in the East Bay for years.

Cingular uses crap phones? Can I quote you on that? It makes it so much
easier to fight your own outlandish claims with your own words.
