How about just plain dropout free calls?

All I need a phone for is to make or recieve phone calls. I don't mean to sound archaic here, but my last three phones were junk. I dont want games, or a camera, I dont need a phone to play ultra compressed low quality audio and video clips, I am sick to death of texting, or beeping walkie-talkie phones, and I have something called a BRAIN to keep track of my appointments and WHAT DAY IT IS.

My latest piece of work is supposed to be one of samsung's best phones and it has dropout issues while standing in line of sight of a Sprint celltower.Cannot wait til my contract with them is over. The second day I owned it the face bezel cracked, and I need something that can take the abuse of my JOB and my LIFE.

The best cellphone I ever owned was a clunky motorola that was like a timex watch, you could use it for a hockey puck or golfball and it would still work everywhere, and would run three days without charging. No camera either. If I want music, I own 14 mobile entertainment systems that range from house size to stadium size and I know several bands in every genre, and there is always an Ipod somewhere, and geez, I think I still own a cassette walkman.

One device cannot be all things for all people and be able to do ANYTHING very well. Just get back to basics and make a reliable, well built phone that just WORKS! Last thing I want or need is internet in a phone. Call me old, or old fashioned, but we HAD this process perfected a few years ago. All we really needed was more celltowers. Being a business owner, there are days where my favorite button to hit on a phone is "POWER OFF".

The way luck would have it, it's probably a faster websurfer than vista powered anything.I wonder if there is a UAC...nevermind.

I can see a day in the future where a sunbeam mixer will have a screen to display online recipe's while cooking,Hmm now there's FOOD for thought.....
