That's a big help, John. If you have no objection, I'm going to cross post your response on the Gorilla thread. Thanks, Frank

<Cdma's selling point early on, and still, was its ability to avoid dropped calls.> From my personal experience, phone calls are still being dropped, just not as much as my old analog phone dropped them. As a matter of fact, last Saturday morning I was driving from San Diego to Los Angeles about 6:00 A.M. I was using my Qualcomm Phone to listen to the Qualcomm conference call, and dropped service on the 805 in Sorrento ("Wireless") Valley less than half a mile from the Qualcomm headquarters. The irony was not lost on me, but I am happy enough with last week's events to forgive a rare dropped call. By the way, I am on GTE service and the coverage is excellent in the area.
