Man, you hit the nail on the head. I have been saying for years now, the carriers and phone manufacturers should put more emphasis on the phone actually making a reliable call, than adding in useless features that may or may not even work because of weaknesses in the underlying network.

I don't want a TV on my phone. I don't want to play games, have annoying ring tones, or any other useless junk. I use my phone for work and for communication. I want to be able to make a call, and have that call be loud and clear and not drop when I go around a corner or down a hill.

I also must agree. I have had AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon Verizon has the best reception and coverege. My sprint phone barely worked in many popular places where it should. The AT&T phone worked in my house but not in my basement. My Verizon phone works everywhere.
