Jack, the word "anomaly" is overused and yet this discussion begs for it. Our family uses Q phones in the San Francisco Bay Area and the overall experience is somewhere between very good and excellent. BUT, from time to time for no good reason I can discern, a conversation is echo-ey {technical term} or otherwise crappy. Far more often, I have had people say [because they heard a car go by] "are you on a cell phone? I can't believe it--the clarity was BETTER than a land line" Very strange and I haven't got a clue. But as to the crappy calls, you can place a new call in 2 seconds, and as previously posted, get terrific service. Me not knowing.
We have a Q2700 and a Q800 and there is a significant difference however. The little guy is nowhere near as capable of pulling a strong signal as the big guy and these "tests" were conducted side by side (i.e., from the same origin to the same destination). Maurice assures me that smaller batteries and tiny antennaes shouldn't add up to a hill of beans--but it do. Would love to find out what's happening? Mike Doyle
