But put your order in early. Shipping dates will slide as the available phones for 9/19 runs out.

I believe the laptop will be an Apple as well. I've already begun drawing up plans to push for Microsoft products. Corporate HQ is only a few miles from Microsoft HQ. We really should be supporting local businesses instead of Bay Area hipsters.
did i miss a thread or FB post? are congratulations in order ? for the job, not the other thing (which BTW, congratz!!)
Phones are getting too big. We will soon be back to the size of the the original brick.
Maybe the width, not the thickness though. Although I'd consider getting a brick that big if it had a decent battery life....
Reception was better with the older phones too. I never dropped a call with my old bag phone. When digital first started, drop calls were very common. It has gotten better with more towers.
Got my order in this morning with shipping on time for next Friday. Shipping times now are 3-4 weeks. Best bet is to hit up a store early next Friday.
Most older phones had an antenna protruding out the top too. Nokia started making phones without the protruding antenna then everyone seemed to follow, that may have a factor as well, especially in low reception areas
Digital towers have to be closer together due to the reduced power0.3W I think) of the phones. Analog phones were like 5W. When they transitioned to digital, the tower constructuction could not keep up.
Class 1 AMPS car phones were 4 watts. The old hand-held "Zach Morris phones" were Class 3 and put out 0.6 watts.
With modern LTE networks, the transmit power is variable and automatically reduces in an area where the towers are close together.
how do i permanently delete the u2 album they gave me so it doesn't use space on my phone?
