Default NEW boat cellphone with RANGE!

We all know how awful the range of the new girly cellular phones with
tiny little transmitters, no antennas, digital only that doesn't work in
the countryside or offshore, are....

Well, Motorola has a NEW answer! BRING BACK THE BAGPHONE WITH SERIOUS
POWER, but with the gummit mandated GPS, Bluetooth, digital internet (1X
only), in a MANLY, RUGGED way with big buttons, no girly frills noone
needs and a serious nature!

Meet the new Motorola M800/M900 series of GSM and CDMA, trimode, triband
mounted or bagged cellular phones.....(c;

Mast mount a 9db dual band antenna at 50' and this puppy's 3 watt (800
Mhz), 2 watt (1900 Mhz) legal-limit transmitter will connect you 50 miles
offshore of the nearest cell with REAL SERVICE. Don't forget you must
use MICROWAVE coax, not RG-58 or similar VHF coax. Local Motorola two-
way radio shops have the proper cables, connectors and can build you a
cable, and install it if you like.

Bruce! Up in Alaska there's a listed company already supporting it.
Look on the list of carriers selling it. This is the replacement phone
for the old AMPS bag/carphones country people have been jealously
guarding for years.

This phone was designed with emergency services, oil/gas industry, heavy
industries, military and other MANLY users in mind.

Sure would make a great, installed "Boatphone" at the Nav station you can
unplug and put in your pocket on your way down the dock....(c; There's
no need to go without cellphone service, just because you're not 2 miles
from a tower, any more.

1-800-ALLTEL7 for those lucky enough to have Alltel service in their
neighborhood. Sorry, Verizon doesn't want you to have a phone not made
for teenage girls....tsk, tsk.

All telephones are girly things. Real sailor men use HAM or Single
Sideband radios. A puny 200 mile range for a cellphone is nothing to
chirp about. Why, I can SAIL farther than that in a 24-hr day....

Thanks for for the update Larry. I have been meaning to Skype you,
but just haven't gotten around to it.

BTW, who is this Wibur dude, and what is his problem......

I have no problem. People might perceive I have a problem because I
don't believe in beating around the bush. I don't mind telling it like
it is. Political correctness is an abomination to which I do not
subscribe. This, combined with a very high IQ, abundant common sense and
more than a decade in this world, means I have a lot of wisdom to
dispense and I'm not the least bit timid about dispensing it.

Man I love this newsgroup. Not only does it give me all the help and
advice so freely about anything I need to know but it also provides
fantastic entertainment.

Stops me getting lonely so far away from home.

I said "more than a decade." That could mean anywhere from 11 years to
100.
