Yes, well, but. It seems a little bizarre to put Manhattan and rural
Kansas in the same group. But maybe there's something here I dont't know,
because my standby time in New York sucked pretty badly. (I wouldnt't
even think about buying a phone there without buying a second charger
so I can have one at work and one at home.)
And maybe microcell-type areas have their own problems. In Manhattan
the multipath is so bad that it destroyed even Sprint's CDMA quality,
as well as AT&T's TDMA. Which was why I was so glad to move to Japan
and enjoy Docomo's voice service, which is, well, uh...never mind....
