Random Thoughts on 3200 vs. 4500 vs. 4600
I've had the opportunity to use the 4500, the 4600, and the 3200. From a sound quality, reception perspective all have performed well for me.
I have no interest in using my phone for Games, Get It Now, Custom Ring Tones, Wallpaper, Internet Access, or Text Messaging.

2. I use it when I'm away from a charging source for several days or more (hiking, camping, etc.) I want to make sure there's enough juice when I need it. Standby time for the 4500 is quoted at around 110hrs. The 3200 is quoted at aroun...
