Just because the audio path is analog that doesn't mean the amplifier is. Ever take a look at your local electronis's stores HTIB systems. They all have analog inputs but use a digital amplifier. They all have something else in common, they all sound like utter crap.

Analog Amplifiers > Digital Amplifiers. Now if only it used tubes...

Digital isn't always better, especially when it comes to audio. I'll take Vinyl over CD for audio quality any day.

Orberthur is also coming out with a higher capacity sim card. This is the same company that produces all the new sim cards for Cingular.

These are not designed to replace the expandable memory format for any particular phone.

These new sim cards are design to allow you more phone book storage capabilites. They will allow to store a lot more info than just name and phone number like current sim cards. For instance you will be able to store, photo ID, e-mail addresses, personal information like anniverseries or birthdays.

Plus it could also be used for service provider content like downloaded ringtones and games. These are not design to be used as a mass storage device like microSD or the MemoryStick Duo.

Finally...just what I wanted.

A business phone with Motorola reliability.

This is not a Cingular issue. All GSM Motorola V3 Razr's have been recalled worldwide. The problem is not software issue but is actually a hardware issue. The hinge is the issue with the phone, not the service provider.

I'll admit, Sony Ericsson phones were not the best phones in the past. But SE has improved with every new generation. I owned a SE s710a and the phone had great features but the menu was a bit slow. But then again have you used the Nokia 6682? That thing got on my last nerve. The z520a and the w600i have greatly improved on GUI performance.

And don't get me started on Nokia's new GUI on their entry level phones. I've never had so many customer complaints about a phone except fot the Motorola V180 and V220.

No problems in the St. Louis and surrounding areas with voice or data. I have yet to receive any complaints from any customers about any outage as well.

I've never heard of the LG CU500. I was told that the LG CU320 would be the first 3G phone available on the Cingular network due to delays with the Nokia 6282.

I don't want to win today. I want a Sony Ericsson w810i please.

Please let today be the day.

This phone phone is a dual band GSM phone but it is pre sim card. Therefore it used the TDMA Digital Network. It did not have a sim card slot.
