Don't jump ship yet! I have a trick for you to try that may help us both. I recently learned that because of the nextel/sprint merge we all have access to all the service towers from both companies. What I didn't know is that you need to "adjust" your nextel phone to pick up the Sprint towers. Try this, hit #,*,menu,right arrow in that order and quickly to get to a menu that begins with "unit info". If you don't get that menu, you didn't do it fast enough. Scroll down until you see "Err/Chan cod". If it is highlighted "on" then turn it off. If it is highlighted "off" then turn it on. Then hit end. In a few moments you will see some new letters and numbers below your signal strength meter and if it's like here in the Boston area, you will have much better service. I have an i305 but my wife has a different phone and I've showed this to other nextel users with different phones and it's worked for all of us so far. Good luck and please let me know if it works.
