I feel in Madison my coverage is good. My fiance has the same phone, bought together. White 16gig, I restored the phone out of the box for new firmware, updated them together to 2.0.1. Hers has more problems with reception than mine. We both complain about call failed when switching to Edge. hers does it alot more however.

Thanks!
