assistant: eant
The reason that there is not a standard in cellular or any other
industry is simple.  If there was a standard customers could use
other company's products ( Motorola and Nokia - Say you had a
Nokia phone,  Motorola's charger and batteries were cheeper.
Nokia would loose the sale of the charger and batteries.)
In a word   Competition.

Write your reply.

assistant: I too had a Motorola flip phone and switched to the 232.  I live in the
mountains and had better reception with the Mototola.  I hope to switch to a
PCS service soon ( My Cellular One contract is up in May) However, if not,
the
next phone I buy will probably be a Motorola.  The Nokia is almost too small
to use ( the mic is far from my mouth).  My biggest problem with the Nokia,
is
the display.  the clear plastic covers the earpiece, and has to be wiped
clean
of wax after each use.

Item # 19VIBRATOR   $24.95.  This decive is about 2.5" x 1.25" and when
within
3 feet of your phone will vibrate when your phone rings.

Write your reply.

assistant: Unfortunately, here in Calgary (Canada) we don't have PCS running quite as of
yet.  I've heard that it's being tested in Toronto, but I don't think Canada
has a commerical running version of it.  I'm probably going to move up to a
Nokia 2100 series with both Digital and Analog capabilities, since it will be
3-4 years till PCS makes a name for itself in Canada (so I've been told).
I've also considered a Motorola again, but the Nokia 2100 series have
batteries with 80+ hours standby with 4+ hours talk time.  Plus I like the
styling of the Nokia's.  I agree about the huge buildup of wax on the phone,
but I seem to have almost eliminated that problem by getting a leather case.

No, on this one the mic is in the very bottom of the radio just above
