....within cellular range. Have you tried it in poor signal areas yet? I find
that I need to see 3 out of 5 on the phone's signal strength indicator
before the connection is reliable (seem to get dropouts or slower speeds
with 2/5 or less).

It's really not a factor. The thing is a toy and I don't expect much out of it.
If I can post from the slip, that's just fine.
Just wanted to point out that it's recent technology, just like my new Rotel HT
processor!
