Interesting. My biggest gripe with the T68i has been, aside from having a
molasses slow interface, the fact that it had a known problem in curbing
signal strength - in other words, I got far less reception that I should
have. The moment I switched phones, even with the same carrier (AT&T, at the
time), my signal strength doubled.

Slow interface + lack of signal = bad phone to me. As you said, YMMV.

Which is sad, and an odd choice on the part of Nokia. I hear their next
generation model will be a 3650 in a different case, i.e. Normal keypad, so
I would be interested in that. Yes, the quirky keypad is weird at first. In
my case, the larger display, and memory card have won me over. Size was not
as much of a factor with me. I prefer a phone that's more 'phone sized' :-)

Wow, this is odd. I can understand different regions having different
quality of coverage, but customer service is national and should be
constant. I've had nothing but positive experiences with them, aside from
their web-page being behind the times. There's been one instance where I
changed my plan, and a month later, it still hadn't been changed, but the
customer service guy acknowledged that, and provided me with a retroactive
credit, and confirmation.

Either way, you're right, these things differ from region to region, and
customer to customer. The big thing to me is the fact that I get unlimited
internet, and text messaging actually works (unlike AT&T which just claims
it does)
