any suggestions for better signal? and vodaphone magic

[Guest mickthetree]

Hey all

I live in an area with good signal strength (I'm on t-mobile) but in my house it is like the black hole of calcutta as the signal is awful. A mates iPhone had a slightly better signal here and another mate with an old nokia had a better signal on voda. Any suggestions on a handset that is known to be good for signal strength?

Also need a new handset. cant afford the new iPhone and always prefer 12 month contracts. tmob will give me pretty much anyphone if I stay with them but need something with good signal! Would prefer something like the G2 or iPhone esk.

I understand that the HTC Magic is the new G2 but cant find any info on this site or the android site about it??

Any ideas if its anygood? That would mean going to voda and on an 18month contract but that might be ok.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
