E398 - K700 - S65 and RF/audio quality

In phone reviews and discussions, why is there rarely any discussion of RF
abilities (signal acquiring/holding) or audio quality? One might assume
that the reason is that all phones are about equal, so it's just not an
issue. However, I'm in the U.S. on 1900 and from my experience the phone
makes a huge difference. The same was true at Sprint (where Sanyos were the
best in this area).



Is there a general opinion on brands?



Right now I'm looking at Seimens (CX65 or S65), Moto (E398) or SE (K700).
Leaving aside partisan bias, would you expect one to have better performance
*as a phone*?



TIA

They got you fooled. Sanyos just set their signal meters to read 5 bars
almost all the time.

Not going by the (worthless) bars. You're right on that.

But I could use my Sanyo 6x00 in my home reliably, whereas none of my
Samsungs worked there. Others around here (NorCal) concurred.

So maybe some Sanyos were better than some Samsungs.
