Best RF vs best battery life
I will be replacing my handset in the Spring. I used to be a die hard Moto person 'cause of signal quality and battery life. I gave into peer pressure to go with a kyocera last time but was greatly disappointed. The battery is horrible, I can only guess to poor rf performance making the handset work harder.
My exper. with Audivox is limited, and Nokia could make a quality CDMA handset if there life depended on it when I ws in the "biz".
OK insiders... which handset will give me the best battery and best rf with a couple of decent features thrown in? Forward looking to coming handsets is ok too. Waht are ur personal favorites?
...
Best RF has many variables, one of the biggest happens to be location, some phones work better in location A and then some of the phones that are the worst in location A may be the best in Location B. Here in eastern Iowa the phone that gets the best RF over all has been the Kyocera Koi. Batery life is very good with this kyocera as well.

kyocera's make me nervous. I have the 414, and I know it is the low end handset. But my issue is when I have my phone and a coworkers moto 810 sitting on my desk side by side...kyo = 1 bar, moto = 4 bars. my kyo's rf is terrible.
Any experience with LG vs kyocera vs moto
...
i laugh everytime someone brings up "well phone A gets so many bars VS. phone B getting so many bars".
What makes people think that all cell manufacturers use the same ratio of bars to signal strength????????
...
Right on; with all the Kyoceras I had, as long as the antenna symbol is on (ie no bars), I can make a call and it is bearable. With one bar, it's golden, good connection. Everything else is just gravy.

Each manufactuer puts differant antenna's in thier phones. Some are better quality than others. Some phones are just better than others. Some can hold up on abuse better so they will pull a better singnal in the long run. If you sell cell phones, or have ever used mulitple cell phones then you know this.

True. However, all other things being equal, when one phone calls the other phone from same said desk and phone A (my kyocera) drops the call to phone B (the moto 810) sitting in my other hand, then I believe bars a good indication of siganl strength and the delta between the two handsets. (Delta means difference in case you didn't know)
So just for laughs brainy, what are the ratios for the handsets in question? Bet ya don't know, but if you do please share, the rest of us dummies are just chomping at the bit. (bit is the cross bar in a horses bridle)
I laugh whenever I see multiple questions marks. That's this symbol '?'.
