More toy then phone!

I'm all for music and games, but is it just me or is the actual phone quality and phone reception strength decreasing? I've noticed that while focusing on all the "secondary" features of recent cell phone technology the primary use of phones is really being overlooked. Places I used to have good to fair connection is now a no service or I get one bar of signal barely. Now that we have all the toys or gadgets we've all been wanting it appears that somehow we all have sacraficed the actual use of our phones! What good does all these ringtones do if your phone won't ring? Same goes with IM, Sharing Pictures, and Media Services. I think all these manufactures and service providers need to get to work on some singnal reception and boost up the power on the towers or start making a phone then put the toys in them.

I hear you, I'm waiting for a phone that has the same power that some of the old bag phones did. Sure would be nice if you could add a card of some type to add a more powerful antenna, games if you wanted them, an mp3 player if you wanted that too.
