For the benefit of the people you call, you might want to see if there's a way 
of turning off the variable bit rate on whatever phone you buy.  VBR has 
ruined cell communications so much that a lot of cell phones are just 
unlistenable now.  

That's why I still use a 5-year old flip phone.  It's extremely clear and 
doesn't drop out.
