[Electronics-talk] Accessible Phones for Verizon

Wed Sep 8 20:02:33 UTC 2010

Hi,

There is a price though. I stopped at a Verizon Wireless store 
yesterday and asked about its reception quality as compared to my 
three-year-old LG 8350.
the man said that the Haven's reception is lower quality. I have 
decided that I will not pay that price. I know enough people who have 
reception problems with their phones. I've had a few, but I don't 
want an increase there. When Verizon and Samsung improve the 
reception quality, I'll be a lot more interested.

I listened to Mike Barber's podcast. In it he mentioned that in his 
basement where he was making the recording, the Haven's reception 
wsas zero bars. No thanks.
