Performance of beta phones appears to be very good. The following is from the Yahoo G* thread: Used it again this weekend! by: TradeMachine (99/M/Hells Kitchen) 6531 of 6531 The phone worked great all weekend. I used it in the Car aswell. The sound is great and I did not notice the switching from one satellite to another. I dont like the way you have to unzip the entire length of the leather case to get the Sattelite antenna out. They have a belt holder too, but its a bit big for that and it wont receive calls, generally on your hip. car adaptor is fantastic idea and where this phone will get most of its use. Sorry Larry, but I got to use it again and it worked. The trials are going on now for several weeks now and I happen to know someone at QCOM. The phones already have full packageing and instructions and all the hardware. Without giving me too much detail other than "Here try this" I used it again this weekend. Only this time the phone also had the integrated CDMA phone and antenna aswell. My friends and I used to call all over the globe and all were blown away that it works so well.

<<In the wonderful real world, (as opposed to Washington, D.C.)>>

Spurred a remembrance of a quote attributed to Mark Twain, Chaz.

"Imagine that you are an imbecile. Now imagine that you are a politician. But, excuse me, sir, I repeat myself." ; )
