Otherwise in week signal areas at ground level I will pull in 3G where I would not get any non-3g signal at all.

ya ur right, i never get better than -70 on 3G too. i saw something else before. And i did notice that the higher u go, reception gets worse as well. But not on Edge. Edge is good. Just wish i could get email while on the phone, then i'd never use 3G cause it's just a battery hastle. My bold is a nasty battery hog. I have four batteries and six external chargers just so i can get through one day lol. One battery lasts me just over 3 hours of continuos talk time. And just under 5 hours when im streaming. I love AM radio stations from all around the world. And the Classic HipHop channel on Accuradio.com is allright too.
