I have cingular and my phone works about 35 miles out in the ocean and way west of town when the nextels loose service.

You will probably wipe quite a few seconds off your lap times know that you dropped that brick you've been carrying!

Ive had Nextel for about 8 yrs now and the service wasnt as bad as couple yrs back!!!

I switched to Sprint a year ago and the service was awesome!!! I had service in the middle of Ocala, down every road I went down and now I can barely get service in town. Sprint has gone to crap as well. They said they are working on stuff and its gonna get better. Ill give them til my contract expires and then im switchin if its not better.

I'm waiting for the new diamondback

I believe they've over sold their band width in most of the large markets.

I've had nextel since the beginng what ever #of years that is in the south florida market. In the beginning it was great and we eventually abandoned the
Motorola repeater trunk radios. We loved the coverage but as the traffic increased the reliablilty went down.

In rural areas never had a problem , my sprint phone/service was useless and always roaming.

I have cingular and love it! I have used them for 7 years and no real problems. The technical help is always friendly and helpful.

We have both nextel and cingular (att now). My wife hates nextel but, i love my new i580. The service is great here in south florida.I also like that i can switch just to walkie talkie mode with my fellow riders and it's good for up to 6 miles. That is great when her cingular phone doesn't work. My nextel 2 way works out in the boat 34 miles off shore her cingular dies at 9 miles. Overall my nextel has been good for the last 5 years.
