[Electronics-talk] talking AT&T phones

[Dewey Bradley]

Well what do you think?
I have used 4 of the so called smart phones, with the same problem.
If I get a full signal they work just fine, but if not then they will not 
hold the call.
I have 2 phones that are not accessible, but do not drop calls.
one of them is 5 years old and has been dropped in water, off the 3rd floor, 
and still works better then the smart phones that I payed $200 plus for.
I paid $30 for the one I use now, I've lost 2 calls in my apartment, but 
with the simbian phones, I can't even use it in my apartment.
a friend and I were in an area last year, he has a windows phone, he had a 
full signal, I had no signal, we both have AT&T.
So what else could be causeing it?
I'm not questioning you, I just want to find something that works and is 
accessible.
That's why I'm asking around about phones that will give me some 
accessibility out of the box.
because even though I've already got the licens for mobile speak, if I 
upgrade they will make me buy it again.
and talks is worse.
that's like saying that if you buy new tires for your car you have to buy a 
new car.
I don't see how that's legal.
and I tryed the I phone, not for me, some people like it, and some don't.
