Star Tac...The equivalent of a 123 ?

[Larry Delor]

Hi y'all!

Looks like my Star Tac finally bit the dust... We had a downpour the other day (so what else is new in Fla?) and it got a bit wet. Now, the caller can't hear me.

I called the phone mart today and asked if they had something equivalent in quality/durability. The person on the other end said that I would have to come in and see what they have, since "everybody else that's had one of those dinosaurs hasn't liked anything else".
That phone has lasted me over 3 years with the same battery. It's only Archilles heel was the antenna that would sometimes fall back into the chassis. (no biggie, I had some old star tac analogs that I used for parts)

Anybody have recommendations for a decent cell phone? ...something 123 like?

Thanks!
