Need Analog -- Best choice available?

Recently, had to pick up a new phone due to my CDM9500 being lost. As
I need an analog phone for calling from my workplace (in the city!),
has anyone had experience with the Audiovox 8900 or the Motorola 730
and their reception for analog? (The stores around my area won't be
getting in any of the VX4400s until sometime next week.)

The T730 works great on analog. It puts out over 500mw, which is more than
most new tri-mode phones do.
