I don't like the flip phones. I had a Motorola and returned it. The volume in the earpiece part of it was lousy. Even a full volume I could barely hear anything. And the signal strength I got it was poor too. I got a Nokia instead, not as good looking but a WAY better phone, excellent earpiece volume and much better signal strength in all areas. I will never go to a flip phone again. On 8/9/05 3:52 PM, "A.
