I need recommendation for a handphone that has good reception capablity.

Having recently moved into an area where signal is weak and patchy, I want to buy a strong-reception handphone. I notice that 3G phones seem to be better. Based on a budget of up to 1K and being a SE kaki, I have shortlisted SE K530, K770 & K810, but I don't mind to also consider Nokia, Motorola or Samsung sets.

BTW, has anyone used the Samsung D880 dual SIM phone yet? How is the reception?

Thanks.
