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! http://www.motorola.com/consumer/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid= 6842e59e1572d010VgnVCM1000008206b00aRCRD&show=prod uctHome 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. Larry -- 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.... Wilbur Hubbard |

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.
