Bay Area service?

[Patrick-D]

Just curious. I'm in Oakland, CA (94610) and according to the Sprint coverage map I should be seeing full 5 bar voice service and good 3G coverage.

Picked up the EVO today and I have 0 - 1 bar of service in the apartment. Customer Service is saying the backlog of EVO activations is causing the poor voice service.

Anyone know if these two things are really related?

I use the cell phone as my dedicated home phone so this will be a bummer if it continues to be this bad. I'd have to return an awesome phone.

Thanks for responses. Looks like I'm just in a dead zone.
