| 266014 | 2004-08-29 07:03:00 | +1 for Nokia +3 for Motorola Do be honest, the reason why I believe people aren't mentioning Motorola is the fact that they are not well covered in this country. Until the days of Parallel Import, you hardly saw them on the market. Motorola has been known as a strong traditional leader in the communication industry, not just cellphones. I, myself, have had the pleasure of being able to use ones brought overseas. They receive the best coverage I've ever seen, and are well and truly easy and stable to use. I suspect they have strong radiowaves [which aint to good for the brain] as they always achieve higher reception that my other ones. I can get a 5-bar downstairs below earth! However having said that, I have been told not to get Nokia because research shows they have the strongest waves! I don't know.... But either brand, should get you going again ;-) Good luck shopping :D |

| 266017 | 2004-08-29 07:19:00 | From what I've heard, the gtran is good in many respects, but ease of use is not one of them. The Nokia 3105 is only $299 these days and the gtran is no longer readily available anyway (unless you find a place with old stock). |

| 266018 | 2004-08-29 07:49:00 | Thanks, I have been looking at that one, and it looks pretty much what I want - and polyphonic ring tones, including being able to download the themes from The Good The Bad and The Ugly and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a definite plus. Will have to check the display tho' to see if I can read it without a magnifier. | annie (6010) | ||
| 266019 | 2004-08-29 09:55:00 | Annie, your post title rather startled me. It certainly caught my attention. In the Army, they carry out a "short arm" inspection. Looking for disease. So I was intrigued to discover what a cellphone could possibly have to do with contracting venereal disease. :O Am still puzzled ?:| |

The bottom priced ones too flimsy looking. |

| 266022 | 2004-08-29 11:57:00 | Short arm disease - presbyopia - age-related loss of ability to use the lens in the eye to accommodate and focus, so you can't focus on things that are close, can't read small print. You see people holding things at arms length with their heads back and squinting to try and focus on print. Like me trying to read my cellphone display. Not VD. | annie (6010) | ||
| 266023 | 2004-08-29 12:05:00 | I had in my mind short arm, as in short arm long pockets - indicating you were frugal (or scottish). | whiskeytangofoxtrot (438) | ||
