LG VX-8300
Will this phone drop my calls in analog areas?
I have upgraded to the 8300 from the 6000. So far so GREAT, but I have a big fear about just one thing: Reception when I travel. My 6000 almost never dropped a call and I drove in NC from the mountains to the beach all the time. Both phones are all digital. The 6000 had "dual band" and the 8300 has "digital dual band." Can I safely assume my new phone will have the same reception that my 6000 did? Or will the "digtal dual band" make a difference in an analog area? Is there any way to know this without actually driving 5 hours to find out? Thanks to anyone that can enlighten me!

The 6000 was all digital also. The dual band refers to the frequencies of the digital service (850/1900mhz). If it was tri-mode then it would have had analog. So the answer is yes you should have the same service. The 6000 did really pick up a good signal though!!!!

"Digital Dual band" vs just "Dual Band" is the difference in the mood of the marketing people. There is absolutely no difference. sibhusky is right - dual band (in Verizon Equipment) means your phone will operate on 2 different digital frequencies. The only phone Verizon has that are different are called "Tri Mode" and they operate in the same digital frequencies PLUS analog.
Incidentally, vzw is exiting all analog end of 2007. Heres a quesstion for you:
Did you ever see a big bold "A" in the top left corner of the screen of any trimode verizon phones? Of course some folks will answer yes. But by and large you will be in some type of digital service the vast majority of the time, even in the middle of nowhere kansas.
