today, I am in smack dab in the middle of Roanoke, VA, and can't get over 1 bar and can't talk..

But, upon plugging in the external antennae, I get full signal strength.

I do LOVE the antennae tho.. I travel 1200-1600 miles a week and I can be all over.. and when the phone is docked in the car and I plug in the external antennae, I can make calls just about anywhere except at the bottom of a valley, between two mountains, and in West Virginia at that!!!

I am going Saturday to get a replacement, and if they give me another 6700, the problem will appear again shortly, cause I will use the antennae, and then, I will get the 6800 soon I am sure!!! I rely on the phone too much, and use it alot (HUD Property inspector), and I will be nice to the reps at the store, but be very assertive and not let them dick me around..

I have heard that plugging in and unplugging an external antennae does mess these up, but think about it... IT SHOULDN'T!!!! if they can't make it good enough to stand that, then it is crap!

Thanks again!!! and, no outages, it is all over (to the 1st reply to my original)!
