motorolas arent any better than samsung. i have a simple old nokia bar style phone that is a bout ten years old. it has GREAT reception everywher all the time. i decided to "upgrade" (ha ha) and get a smartphone
i got a samsung smartphone on at&t. (infuse)it had horrible reception compared to the old nokia. i missed half my calls because phone never rang etc..
i read up on it and figured i would try a motorola (atrix 2), so i get it and it is the same as the samsung. no reception difference at all! missed half the calls etc...
so i switched back to my old nokia. no problems at all. perfect reception from a simple phone.
it is a damn shame, because i would love to have a smartphone, but none of them are reliable as a phone. what i do now is i have my old nokia for a phone (old reliable) And a samsung galaxy player 5.0 as my android device because i got tired of waiting for the supposedly smartphones to actually have reception.
this was over a year ago now. since then i have tried a few more smartphones from samsung, moto etc... they all suck!! reception wise.
maybe it is just on at&t (i highly doubt it) but all smartphones have crap reception compared to the simple phones from 5-10 years ago.
bottom line is, there is no difference between the moto and samsung at least none you will notice. i am almost positive of this
