I live in Orlando, near the Rosemont area and I've been trying to find out about Tmobile service myself. Right now, I have Verizon and they're ok, but their customer service is really starting to slip and Tmobile appears to give you the most minutes for your money anyway. From what I know about phones, so far, I know Samsung phones are really decent and the accessories aren't that hard to find. A samsung probably would have better reception as opposed to the Vseries of motorola.

I'd like to get our first cell phone using T-Mobile's prepay plan. We live in the woods in a fringe area (neighbors have tried other carriers and found T-Mobile is best here). Which phone would give the most solid reception with a weak signal? I don't care about having a camera or anything. I was thinking of the Motorola V195 since I've read a couple reviews that sound good. But the local dealer says that phone has the worst reception of all. Of course, he didn't have that one in the store so I take that with a grain of salt. He said Samsung's have the best then Nokia. Anyway, any others that have used the V195 in fringe reception areas or compared others? Thanks!
