Sorry to bring up a subject that has no doubt been done to death, but I do need help.
My old LG VX4500 got minimal, but usable signal at home (Ithaca, NY). I upgraded to a VX8300 and got no signal; I returned the phone.
I have one more chance.
I could try the pedestrian Nokia 6215i which, I've read here, has the best signal sensitivity, or I could go for the glitzy VX8600.
(I could also try the Samsung SCH-a870 or the a930 but I've heard bad things about Samsung with regard to reception.)
I would be grateful for any advice.
