Several people say Motorola V3xx has best reception More reviews here:mobiledia.com/phones/motorola/razr-v3.ht... Great! Reviewer: user1915 on Wed Jun 21, 2006The RAZR V3 replaces my recently purchased Nokia 6103 (see my review in the Nokia section of this website). Normally, this is not a phone I would have even considered (especially after reading some of the reviews out there), but the kiosk I purchased from didn't have anything else that really appealed to me.
Much of my job is done on the phone, so it is crucial that my cell phone provides outstanding reception and call quality. The RAZR V3 does exactly that. Here's the rundown:Reception: 10/10 - Outstanding signal reception...this phone gets 5 bars in places where I get 3 on my wife's phone (Motorola V330).
Callers are frequently surprised when they learn I am on a cell phone and not a land-line. Sometimes I have to lower the handset volume because I can hear the other party so well. I know others have said volume is a problem with the RAZR.
Perhaps Motorola fixed this issue, because this is the loudest cell phone I've ever used. Connectivity: 9/10 - Bluetooth and USB are the only options. I would have liked Infrared as well, as there are still a lot of laptops being made with IrDa ports...just another option for synching, and one less cable to carry.
The bluetooth remembers the last item it was connected to, and automatically links back up when the device is powered on...that's nice, because when you turn your headset on, you don't have to navigate through a bunch of menus just to get it working again...it just works. Construction: 10/10 - The phone feels extremely solid, as most of the shell is made of aluminum. The hinge is solid, with no side-to-side play in it.
The fit & finish is top-notch, everything lines up properly, and the phone opens & closes with precision. The internal display is big, bright, and very crisp. Speakerphone: 9/10 - Speaker clarity and volume are excellent, the microphone could stand to be a little more sensitive.My callers tell me they can hear me fine, although (like all speakerphones) there is an increase in background noise picked up by the microphone.
Menus: 10/10 - I know some say the menus are slow, but compared to other phones I've used, I disagree. In fact, I've found the RAZR to be one of the faster Motorola phones I've used...the V330 being just one of them. Not only are they fast, but you can customize the look of them (icons vs. list), and in conjunction with the programmable soft keys and 5-way navigation key, you can customize the phone to work the way you want it to.
Motorola's operating system is very intuitive...I learned most of it without even cracking the manual. It is stable as well, and it's never crashed on me (unlike the Nokia). PDA Apps: 8/10 - As I said, I bought the phone to use as a phone...but as it turns out, the PDA features work so well, the RAZR has completely replaced my old Palm device.
The Phonebook allows you to store contacts with multiple phone numbers, email address, ringtone, voice name, and a picture for the caller ID. The Datebook allows you to enter appointments or events, and you can set reminders and audible alarms for each. The Alarm Clock is easy to set, and you can choose any one of the ringtones for the alarm sound (the RAZR comes with 53 different ringtones by the way).
Another tool I find myself using is the voice recorder, for notes to myself. I'm sure there are numerous other features I haven't touched on (such as the camera) that may or may not work well...but for me, the RAZR does what it was designed to do.It performs all the duties I expect from a cell phone, and it does them well. Call quality and signal reception are outstanding.
The phone is plenty loud, user-friendly, and very well constructed. Before I got the RAZR V3, I considered it a novelty item for the fashion-conscious...but in an ironic twist, I have discovered what may be the best cell phone on the market.

The iPhone of course :) I just recently switched over from Verizon to Cingular/AT&T and picked up an iPhone. It is fantastic...it is lightweight, easy to use...and everyone I talk to on it says they can here me perfectly loud and clear. Sure you get some dropped calls here in there (I live in the mountains), but overall it is by far my favorite...best reception...phone to date!.
A Siemens on Cingular Siemens SL65Q: I've been looking at purchasing the new Siemens SF65 and SL65 phones, but I don't know how to tell if they will be compatible with my network (Cingular). Also, how can I tell if my SIM card will be compatible with the phone? --MattA: Unfortunately, we haven't been able to get our hands on the SL65, which is an upgrade to the SL56 (a favorite of our departed cell phone diva).
The Siemens SL65 is sold primarily in Europe and Asia, but that doesn't mean you won't be able to use it stateside. Since the SL65 is a GSM triband cell phone (GSM 900/1800/1900), it should be relatively operable on Cingular's network. That said, Cingular uses mainly the 850 band so that coverage will be spotty in some places, especially in buildings.
There's one caveat, though: make sure that you buy an unlocked version that's not tied to any specific carrier. That way, all you'll need to do is pop in your SIM card to get started. You'll be able to tell if your SIM card is compatible as soon as you put it in the phone.
If you see Cingular displayed on the screen and are able to make calls, then you're good to go. You'll still have to get the correct data settings from Cingular, however, to use the wireless Web browser and some of the messaging features.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
