6126 or N75 which one has better call quality , holds signal better and loud enough earpiece volume
want to ask if someone tried both the nokia 6126 and the n75 and between both of them which one has better call qualty , holds the signal better and last important detail is loud enough in the earpiece volume to hear who you are talking to. some of these other phones i tried you can bearly hear the other person/

I had the 6126 for a little over a month and it was ok. Signal strength, call quality and ear piece volume were pretty good. The battery life was very horrible and it drove me crazy having to charge it every 10 hours, so I decided to get the N75. Well, the reception, call quality and ear piece volume are even better and the battery life is way better too. Plus the N75 doesn't feel like a toy like the 6126 does and it has the Symbian OS which is a lot better. You can do a lot more with it. Also, it has 2 speakers, so music sounds much better on it. I, personally would go with the N75. I love mine and am so glad I got it. It will be my phone for a long time!! Hope this helps.

who do you have for a carrier cingular or tmobile? i found out tmobile has 2 towers in my area wken eletric went out on my block. while on a friends phone with cingular they had full bars and were working fine. i cant even roam on cingular because message comes up no system access. which tmobile doesnt have a roaming agreement with them in the area. i have no confidence in tmobile because if the same kind of thing was to happen you have no service and you cant roam. would you sacrifice the 1000 minutes with unlimited night/weekend minutes for 45.99 to go to cingular for better coverage about 40 towers. even though you pay 59.99 for silmilar minutes.

I have Cingular and have good coverage everywhere. I don't have 3G and I do not have any problems. I love Cingular. T-Mobile has awful coverage where I am.

I tried the 6126 for 3 days. I lost calls, and patience. I have a 6620 that works just fine.

In my household we have both phones. We are in South Florida and the N75 is on 3G while the 6126 is not as far as I can tell. Neither phone will get a signal inside parts of Sams or Costco. Both are used with the speaker-phone a lot. The conversation quality seems a wee bit better via the speaker on the N75, but the 6126 rings louder - much louder.
When not using the speaker-phone, they are both tricky in that you have to position it just right to hear. The volume does go up loud, but I tend to keep it around the middle because otherwise, in a quiet environment it hurts my ears.
I found that the battery strength affects the signal and if the battery is on the last bar, the signal is weaker.
With the 3G network, the signal tends to drop...

I've had both and returned both !!!
First I had the 6126 and really liked it 'cept for the terrible call quality on SOME calls and it had no FM radio (which I use quite a bit while training horses). Speaker volume I thought was excellent as was ring volume. Even though music functionality is much better on the N75 I thought the music SOUNDED better on the 6126. Playing music through the external speakers on the N75 sounded terrible on my unit. After about 2+ weeks I returned the 6126 and went back to my 6230.
Then became an early adpoter of the N75 and really WANTED to like that phone but just couldn't. I'm beginning to believe that 3G is a call quality issue in my area. On my N75 about 1/3 of my calls sounded great - ~1/3 were "...

Interesting, I also work with horses and thus love the FM radio feature of my 6102i. I have had a 6102 for about 18 months now. Recently I decided to upgrade to the N75. Got it out to the farm and found it got no signal at all whereas my 6102 gets 1-2 bars. So I traded it in for a 6126 even though it didn't have the radio because I really wanted a new upgraded phone. Again, got it to the farm and no signal at all. I am in central Virginia. I move around alot up and down the east coast into South Florida and find the 6102i consistently gives me good reception. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the N75 and at least the camera button doesn't constantly get activated like the 6126 (which is a huge pain in the rear!), but I can get se...

Good to hear from you 'lacrowe' ... sounds like you and I are in the same boat - want to upgrade to something different but just can't get there from here.
Before I went with the 6126 and the N75 I also tried the Moto V3xx - nice phone but me and Motorola still can't get along. Everyone raves about the SE810i but I've got the local AT&T store so ticked off with buying & returning that I'm gunshy about doing it again.
If you land on something you really like (with a radio) let me know.

There is one thing i did.....Because I so want a new phone and can't find one that works for me, I went out and got a new face plate. Just in the darker red, but somehow it makes me kinda feel I got a new one!! I know...stupid but hey, whatever works until they make the perfect phone for me. And it has to be a Nokia. I won't use anything else. I'll let you know when it's born!

A friend of mine works for AT&T in the (formerly Cingular corporate) ATL headquarters. This friend told me that the 3G network voice quality is much improved over what it was in the beginning, but it still is not as good as it should be. They focused heavily on the data side, but the voice side suffered.
As for reception, both the N75 and the 6126 have internal antennas. The 6102 doesn't. I don't know why the 6230 always got such great reception since it also has an internal antenna, but it did/does.
