I've just brought an E71 from Three and have been having problems with poor/no reception at my home. I've phoned up their customer service and they've told me the E71 does not have great reception and so they want to swap it for a different phone. I really like the phone and want to get something similar, (smartphone with keyboard). Has anyone got any suggestions - so far only the Blackberry Bold or the E63 seem to appeal.

Ergonomics The three people suggested the E63 has better signal quality than the E71 and a few reviews i've read seem to be suggesting the same thing. So i'm going to end try out a E63 if that doesn'f work then i'm going to cancel the contract.
If your looking at Three it may be worth looking at their coverage checker http://www.three.co.uk/_popup/Coverage_checker

ergonomics - The E63 arrived and it does have marinal better signal quality than the E71 but that not really saying much. I now get reception down stairs in my house but have to walk upstairs to get clear reception. Overall i would go with the E71 rather than the E63, but pick a network with a strong signel in your area (not Three). There nothing terriable wrong with the E63 it just that the E71 is overall a better phone. Also you don't get a memory card or micro USB cable with the E63 mean you need to spend another £10 to £20 just so you can use all the function of the E63 properly while these are standard in the E71.
I'm currently try to cancel the contract as the signal is still not strong enough and i was mislead about the E63 having GPS built in. The Three customer service is proving to be as bad as people say and i would not recomend anyone buying a Three phone.
