This is wood related, as in the more I spend on more phones the less I have to spend on wood and tools.
Two years ago I traded in a perfectly good -- working Moto flip phone for a Samsung Galaxy S2. While that phone is thin and has a great screen to watch movies on and a whole lot of other things. GPS never worked and the phone part was almost as bad. With the best of reception it is hard to make out what is said and anything but the best reception makes the phone into a nonphone. Were it not for Google Voice I would have no use of the phone as a phone at home.
I admit that I did not research it enough and was swayed by reviews that seemed to forget that the thing should be a phone too. Add to this I also am using SPRINT which had great reception in pre-digital days and now only has cute girls as service reps in the store as a plus feature.
So, I am asking a bunch of practical guys and gals what phone works for you? Has a good transceiver for the phone that gets good clear reception at a distance. Is perhaps a bit more durable than some and battery life that is at least all day with some phone calls.
If anyone knows of comparison between phones on the same carrier, as in side by side comparisons of how well they work as phones, that would be greatly appreciated.
