<thing is...". trouble is that nobody will fix the damm thing until it is type approved, nor will they entertain that someones is not living up to a service contract. I got about $200 worth of dropped calls and both are pointing fingers at each other. >

FWIW I had an unrelated 'dropped call' problem [I lived in N. Scottsdale a couple years back, and the U.S.West service was iffy] and I just started estimating my bills based on % of decent calls and called them and told them that's what I was doing. Of course the first reaction was not positive, but what were they going to do? The second time I talked to a super and told him I was cancelling without fulfilling my contract because they hadn't fulfilled theirs [and hadn't warned me of iffy service] or they would take what I paid them. Guess what they did, and never complained again.

They're lame attempt to rectify these situations at that time was to have you call them every time a call was dropped... I did that like 2x and said forget it.

So MOT took alot from QCOM, but seems they delivered CRAP to do it.

"'The company has a bit of explaining to do (in Tuesday's conference call) on the slowdown in revenue growth', said Wojtek Uzdelewicz, telecommunications analyst with SG Cowen Securities. 'They did miss my handset (sales) projection.'"

No way! This has to be a misprint. Eddy Snyder assured us that MOT was taking handset share from QCOM.

Mercedes charges $1900 for a phone installed in their cars. HDR is just around the corner. Why buy a voice only phone now? You may stuck with it for many years.
