How is the reception on the droid X?

[gr8fandini]

Of the last half a dozen phones I've had I have had terrible cell reception. I drop calls when other people stnding right beside me just talk away with no problems. Even my currnt phone, BB Storm, is bad when getting out on fringe areas when other people I work with have no problems. So, how's the X in htis area?

Well I can not speak for other users but I have had the best reception with the Droid X, I have not had one dropped call yet but on the same note I havent had any reception with any of the phones I have had since I switched to Verizon, all other companies would either drop a lot or simply not give reception at my house but I can use the Droid X without issues.

The reception is excellent on the X but have to remember it all relies on were ur at how close u  r from a tower or in side of a building trees play a part in this an if u have the latest updates on the X but all in All its all good!

Well, I've had many with crappy reception, others on verizon, same network as I, will have no problems. I think it has something to do with my head. But I need a phone with good reception quality.

have u tried blue tooth headsets  with ur phones or Blue tooth speaker in your Car  there are several on the market give one a try!   plus its not a wise thing to be driving while on  the phone an some states have laws against that.

Not trying to sound like a smarta$$, but what does that have to do with the phones reception? Am I missing something?

well for one thing it gets it away from your head wich can soak up a little of the radio waves i've had a blue tooth headsets for 6 years now on a slim occasion i'll use the phone up against me but not very much an something els when me and my dad was goin down town in the city we live in we were on a 4 Lane street And this person next to us an because of paying more attention to hew  was on the phone instead of driving came within 12 inches of hitting us. Thats my reason plain an simple!

I didn't think about that. Good point! I do have a bluetooth but I don't like wearing it all the time, just when in the truck and I know I'm going to be on the phone a bunch. Otherwise I find it uncomfortable, and I even have one of those high dollar jawbones.

My Droid X has been one of the the best-talking phone I've ever had.

I'll add my two cents in. The reception on the Droid X is superb, excellant, marvelous, etc. However, I don't care what kind of phone you have, nor who your carrier is, but if you are in a "dead" zone, anything will be horrible. Yet, by what you said, that other people are yakking away, I'm assuming you are in a fairly good zone, so you should be happy with the Droid X. The BB Storm 1 and 2 have received horrible reviews and we have several ex-BB storms who are now Droid X lovers.
