Cell phones with the best reception in remote places
I know, leave the damn thing at home. Except when there is an accident or emergency. My home is rural and my current phone (Motorola Crazr) doesn't pick up the light signal very well.
I've heard that smart phone/blackberries pick up a better signal when a weak one is present.
Have you, in your travels, found one phone in your group to work better than another. I know that service providers play a key role, but I'm more interested in finding out which phones pick up signals better than others.
