Need to get into digital (still keeping my analog service as a backup)
and want something larger and more robust than the tiny phones everybody
offers. Guess I'm spoiled with my 10 year old Motorla flip phone.

Any advice for a GSM (Cingular system) phone that's easy to use
key-wise, basic features like voice mail, caller ID with missed calls...
would be appreciated. Need to dump my pager service, also, so I need a
phone that can tell you from a distance you missed a call or have voice
mail. Maybe I'm asking too much??

I've been told the Motorola Timeport P7389 was a very nice phone with
great clarity and signal strength. Any comments? Does it give you missed
calls with caller ID... as I've heard conflicting news on this?

Thanks for the help on this.

George

There is a dedicated Cingular news group which you may like to try

Yup... I had one of these things three years ago. While it did seem to
give good clarity, signal strength, and battery life. That was about the
only things that where any good about it. It was one of the most
illogically designed, unintuitive, hard to use, horrible phones I've ever
used. Only kept it a month, and replaced it with a SE t68.

It was also discontinued some time ago...thank god !!

Nokia 6310i... you should still be able to get one of these.

You're not asking for much at all. These are basic features of a digital
service.
