Owen, Jeff and Bigg, Please go and exchange your Samsung phone with a dual-band dual mode QCP-2700 phone or Sony phone. These two phones are well made. I have two. They work perfectly. Plus, you do not have to worry about out of PCS coverage. Because it soft-hands off to analog mode automatically. "Q" phone is a good choice also. Though it is PCS mode only. Qdog, you mentioned "Q" phone. There is no "Q' phone with a PCS/analog mode on any market. QCOM however will introduce a "Q" phone in April 98 with Analog/digital celluar mode. Other operators such as Airtouch, other baby bell companies with origially analog coverages will provide QCP-820, 800 type dual mode phone. Good luck to all Brian H.

You should not have bought a Samsung phone. Why come on the Qualcomm board and ask us about the competition's phones? All the manufacturers are going to have some defective units, but the Samsung just isn't as good a phone as the QPE phones (sold under Qualcomm and Sony brands). Samsung does not have a lithium battery, too. Advantage of lithium, it does not acquire a "memory" as do the nickel cadmium batteries, so you don't have to let it exhaust itself before re-charging. That is a big convenience.
