I need a phone with good reception

I will assume you just need a basic phone I would have to say either the new razr2 or any of the Sony Ericsons they have. I have had good luck with sony ericson.
 
If you can find a SE 810, I would highly recommend it. Other than that the Nokia 6126 also has great reception and as does the Motorola V3xx.

I am not sure about your definition of a basic phone, but all of the above would probably be considered mid range.

The V3xx has 3G, if that is important to you.

Good luck :)
 
I recommend Sony Ericsson or Nokia. Whatever you do don't get a Samsung because my brother has one of the slide phones and they're horrible with reception.
 
I agree with you mostly but Samsung has come a long way specially in their high-end phones. The blackjack line of phones both in GSM and CDMA are excellent in built, call quality and reception. My blackjack exceeded my Nokia 6131 in all aspects. :)I am rather partial to the SE810 over the Nokias available presently. It comes down to personal preference and what you are comfortable with, use the trial period to give a couple of phones a trial run.

Good luck. :)
 
Be wary of this make sure you clearly ask your provider if you can exchange a phone more than once. There are times you can only exchange one time.
