Nokia 3120

Currently use Motorola V551s here in Sarasota, FL. Cingular GSM service
VERY bad.

Another post indicated that Nokia hardware is far better, particularly their
3120. Is this true?

Other models I should consider?

I do not need a bells 'n whistles phone - just plain, ole good reception in
a very busy (not the mountains) part of Florida. Yesterday I made a cell
call to California, said to come through like a land-line; a few minutes
later an 800 call from Sarasota, FL to Tampa, FL (one hour north) both
calls made from the same physical location. Call was a mess. BTW, is there
any technical reason why 800 calls via cell might be worse than non-800?
(Stupid question? This is what I am experiencing.)

Please, someone tell me why GSM is so poor here in Sarasota, FL!!

Regards,
Wayne

No -- the difference is relatively small. Nevertheless, you might want to try
it at a Cingular dealer.
