Vman:

Your comment: The complaint was that the infrastructure was not correct and was sapping phone batteries of their power quickly.

Without too much detail, are we talking order of magnitude differences here or just a reduction in the range of percentages?

My experience with the 800 dual mode Q phone is that talk/standbye times are real short (around 2/10 hours) playing in an analog network.
I am banking on the upgrade to CDMA to greatly enhancing this. Are you saying the improvements are system set up dependent to a larger degree than just cell spacing? (Given the general flavor of CDMA signal modulation and such)

Anyone?
