Along with everyone else, I am waiting anxiously for the leaks to start on the new releases coming this summer. I am hoping there is at least one serious phone in the bunch. Honestly I have been disappointed with the offerings so far. Please don't tell me about the G1, G2, or the latest Sidekick or Blackberry-like device. That's not what I'm talking about. A real phone. One with outstanding call reception. One that shifts seamlessly from a legacy 2G tower, to UMA, and then to a 3G UMTS cell without dropping the call or showing any signs of call degradation. Texting and internet access are nice, but I want to see what T-Mobile really is buying 3G for, A-GPS locations for e911. The TDOA functionality is old school, and I am sure the FCC is getting tired too. Emergency services need a real 50 meter radius on a call. Finally, none of the flimsy, tiny music phones! I have a Nokia 6133 that has served me well, but I am expecting at least that quality. The Nokia phone that was poised to replace it was recently pulled from the market due to quality issues.
