Of course, the Ericsson was pretty much junk anyway, which > is why I got a Nokia and gave away the Ericssons. I have a number of GSM phones around here (up to 5 years old.) NONE of the ones more than 13 months old that are still functional are Nokia. After the problems with their DataSuite product & a number of bad experiences with Nokia warranty claims they don't have much chance of selling their particular brand of trash anywhere I have influence. The only significant issues I've had with any other GSM phone were the fragile aerial on Ericsson 197s & broken keypads on NECs ... the only ones that carked it prematurely were Nokia. er http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ > Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information. > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
