My hippie hideout is a very lively place, signal wise, I'll have you know. On the coverage map I'm maybe 50 yards or less from a boundary to the second best reception area but I'm getting the full bars and I can load pages on the phone itself pretty fast. Phone call usage and signal so far is first rate.
At first I didn't like the phone, I'm thinking, 'oh yeah, that's why the deal is so good,' but it's growing on me. In some ways, way better than my old Moto, in other ways weaker.
I'm going to try to get the tethering thing running. One reason they give unlimited web usage I think is, the data port jack-hole for the computer link-in is the same one needed for recharging. Oops. Can't be charging the battery while I'm using the phone as a modem. Maybe I can buy a near dead phone with the same battery and keep a charged battery handy. Oh well.
