I am considering ditching my Pre for another phone, as for 40 hours per week, it's basically a brick with a cool screen.
There are two other people in my building who have the Pre and have the same problem: no signal unless you go outside the building. There are other Sprint customers in my building with different phones and they have no problems with coverage.
I tried downloading the patch to set the phone to "roam only" and this works great for the web (although, it's slow) - I have 5 bars. I can receive calls and use the web, but I can't make a call because I'm on US Cellular's network, so I have to switch the phone back to 'automatic' and go outside.
I cannot get the AirRave, because my employer is not going to allow me to plug into their internet connection for my personal cell phone.
I'm currently trying to decide what phone to go to and Sprint said that they'd work with me on cost because I'm not eligible for an upgrade until July of 2011. I'm looking for suggestions on a different phone.
This breaks my heart because I love the Pre, especially after having spent so much time downloading patches from PreWare and making this phone 'the perfect phone for me.'
Any ideas?
