All the convergence is all cool and such ... but I WISH I could get a
phone that worked WELL
Like one of the old analog Motorola's you could talk on the elevator as
you rode
The digitals have some neat features, but reception and such really
seem to suck
Get near an elevator and they drop out
This is like the LG fridge that can get on the net.
Great, but it's useless to me until I have a grocer that uses this sort
of thing.
And, the 3Com Audrey pretty much demonstrated that simply being digital
was not enough, it had to be something people would use
Fry's has the darned fridges but they aren't exactly hot sellers from
what I read
Now, a phone like the old Moto bricks that had enough heft you could do
some damage with priced at $19 ..... there's a great convergence
proposition
A drive by phoning .....
