How good is the reception on your cellphone?

When I am driving around town, the reception is great. But in buildings with metal roofing (Walmart, Mall, Work) I get very poor to no reception at all. It bothers me because I tend to wander away from people and they need to call me to find me but meh.
I have a Sony Ericsson s710a.
 
I think that is common for GSM phones. I have a Sony Ericsson Z710 and its performance can get pretty bad indoors, well away from doors or windows.

My old z520a had great reception everywhere.
 
Use to be with Cingular on a Sony Ericson T616 and the reception was horrible inside my apartment. The living room was tolerable but my bedroom was downright awful. Dropped calls every 5 minues or less. Everyone I called and talked to for an extended amount of time would complain about the amount of dropped calls.

Switched to Verizon and have not had one dropped call yet in my room.
 
T-mobile Samsung x475

around 5 bars average

When I was in Europe and North Africa I got 6 bars, even on the boat from Europe to North Africa I got 6 bars.
 
Virgin Mobile (Spring Network). I have great reception but in some stores I lose it. Depends on the size of the store and what's in it and such. Also the gym I play v-ball in I get no reception at all.
 
I have Cingular and a Sony Ericsson Z520a. Reception is decent but when I'm in most buildings.... forget it.

 
Verizon with Motorola Q, sometimes my bars will be 1, sometimes 5. But I honestly wouldn't know if I didn't look the quality stays the same.
 
3-5 bars almost 100% of the time. I upgraded to a W810i from my W800i a couple weeks ago while I wait for the W580i to come out. Having the 850 band did wonders for my reception.
 
Motorola E185 on Verizon Wireless. Full signal everywhere I go. Fantastic call quality and excellent battery life.
 
cingular 8525 (htc hermes) / central jersey / if i'm on a regular network, good call quality. if i'm on umts/3g, crystal clear call quality.

i used to work on the 5th floor of a 12 story building and my cube was directly in the center of the floor -- i've had issues with reception there.

several months ago i used to lose signal when my phone switched from 3g to regular networks and then back, but it hasn't happened since december or so.
 
with my samsung a900, it was average reception...i just upgraded to a treo 700p and the clarity and reception are terrific! i even get signal in my basement!

on sprint, of course.
 
Verizon, LG Chocolate, always get at least 2 bars of 1x and 3 bars of EV. Call quality never changes whether I have 1 or 4 bars of 1x.

Right now, I have 3 bars of both 1x/ev on my VZW phone, and 1 bar of voice on my Sprint phone.

Also with Verizon but with a Samsung u740. Same situation. I used to lose signal in Walmart with my old phone, but that ended when they rebuilt the Walmart into a SuperCenter.
 
Verizon w/ Motorola v325i

I always have a good signal indoors (in coverage areas). My phone is also frequently able to find the network outside of coverage areas when other VZW phones cannot.
