T-Mobile Hollywood/W.Hollywood update

[TimInHollywood]

Hi all,

I have written recently about how pathetic the T-Mobile coverage is in the Hollywood/West Hollywood area. I was getting "no service" or "Emergency Only" on my Samsung R225m phone while driving on most of Beverly Blvd and all of LaBrea Blvd.

I decided to switch phones to see if it would help. I tried a Motorola v60. That did the trick! The phone typically as 3 to 5 bars (out of 5), and has reasonably consistent coverage throughout the area. Even in places where my Verizon v60c does not, like the place where I live (north of Hollywood Blvd.).

I have been told by a couple T-Mobile employees that they very often have problems with the R225m. They said that the R225m was returned all the time. If that phone is such a poor performer, why would T-Moble even bother selling it? It simply makes their service seem terrible.

Thanks,
Tim in Hollywood

i agree. same thing with sprint and the LG1010........it too is a horrible performer. T-Mobile and Sprint should both do something when a manufacturer puts out a doozy.

Hey how does that Samsung 240 perform? I played around with it the other day and it looks like a piece of junk. The LG 4NE1 also looks like junk.

the samsung n240 hasn't been out long enough to get feedback on it. the lg4ne1 hasn't really come back with problems but we dont sell to many of em either.
