I’ve been looking at cellphones for years. But speaking as a amateur radio operator, I must tell you that all of them leave me cold. All these things are, is a trunking microwave transceiver with a dialer. I don’t want a color screen, I don’t want to look at pictures, I don’t want to play music, I don’t want one with digital camera in it. I just want it to be a good radio receiver and transmitter. None of them work well as a radio. Best overall level-ground range is 19 miles. Most of them sound like they are under water because the voice amp AGC works too quickly, or is too primative for digital radio. The receivers are often noisy and add digital artifacts to the sound; total rubbish. The old 900Mhz phones could do well up to 35 miles, and they were analog! We are going backwards. I don’t give a tinkers’ damn how pretty it is, if it doesn’t work well as a phone, it’s just a pretty paper weight. Get over their apperance and understand the truth of the cellphone culture. Virtually every single customer for cell service is a party to a massive fraud. When they have a decent piece of radio gear, I’ll take another look. But right now, I’ll stick with ham gear, the hardware is cheaper, they can make calls through repeaters (FOR NOTHING) and have a range of more than a hundred miles, they hear well and transmit superior quality audio. Oh, and BTW, none of your choices for pretty phones warmed my heart for esthetics either. They are trying to improve their appearance, because they won’t spend money to invent a cellphone that works as a cellphone. Seems kinda funny, doesn’t it?
