The phone I'm getting
« on: June 16, 2004, 12:24:54 PM »
Since my wife and I moved (back in October), my mobile phone is pretty much useless at our house.

It's a good phone... it's a Nokia that is only three years old.

Unfortunately, my provider's service area has a massive dead zone right outside of the St Cloud area (in the center of which our house is located :().

Pretty much every other provider we have access to for mobile phone service has better signal strength in our area.

Needless to say, I'm switching.  I'm going with a Sprint PCS plan that is actually going to be a bit cheaper than what I'm currently paying, and will offer me better service pretty much everywhere.

I was looking at the various phones Sprint has for their service, and the one I think I want is this one:  click

Holy crap that's a long link.  I wonder if that will work?


EDIT:  Yup, apparently so.

After going through an Audiovox and an LG (not that one!), I've finally settled on a Nokia 3586i (I think that it's it...). It gets decent reception everywhere I go--most noticeably my office, a feature at which the LG fell short--and is pretty.

If I had to pick one downfall, it's the lack of adjustable headset volume. Can't hardly hear nothing in noisy areas. Not that I want to be the dink gibbering away on my phone in public anyway, but still.
