Frank: Neat new smart phone from CIC partner Motorola out this am in Canuckland. The feature allowing the recording of voice phone conversations should illicit a few discussions. Do we all talk to each other like we talk to reporters now? Do we now say at the start of a conversation "I am not recording this call". Ah technology --its good side and its evil side! The debate continues.

1 Actual performance will depend on network configuration, signal strength, function selection, and SIM card. It is also dependent on the combined use of standby/talk time. Upper range talk time assumes ``DTX on'
and upper range standby assumes DRX9 network capability, not available in all countries. The use of an SIM card which does not support the Stop Clock feature results in significantly reduced standby time.
