1171885 2011-01-24 00:16:00 Prior to getting a BB recently I had reasonable coverage here (90 Mile Beach) now I have NO coverage at home and had to pay extra for a Blackberry data plan. Nokia phones seem to have the better reception, I'm brassed off I gave mine away now. Is it normal for all smartphones to have hopeless reception? fnphoto (2434)
1171886 2011-01-24 00:19:00 That depends - are you claiming that a Blackberry is a smartphone? :D

What network are you with and what model BB?? It may be that the BB you bought is designed for the OTHER network and the frequency it has (850MhZ or 900MhZ) is the wrong one...

The manufacturers call it a smartphone - I call it a dumbphone! From Telecom on their network!

Perhaps the BB doesn't have as good an aerial as the Nokia had...
