i've considered swapping to at&t, but verizons service in this area is still better. especially in the less populated area's.

in the city, everything works. but get an 2 hours away like i tend to, tmobile is unusable, at&t is dropping to 1-2 bars at times...

I have AT&T. It is pretty mediocre in most places. When I had a Verizon phone and my AT&T work phone, my personal phone consistently had better service.

Cheeky.. all the cars that I have owned since I met her she has liked.. I even managed to sneak in a 205 1.9GTi (track prepped etc), she used it as her DD.. She loved it, simple, easy to see out of and small enough to park etc.. She had no idea what it was about and why guys were always checking out the motor..

It's always weird to get terrible support, then suddenly someone steps in who just knows what to do and you're sorted. Well, not really in this case, but they had answers. And I agree, t-mo wanders off pretty quickly but really is amazing in the city. Have been stuck without service a couple times, but that means even AT&T wouldn't work. Sucks on the compatibility, that's one of the big challenges with Verizon at this point, I think... not sure, I can't justify the cost of even just looking at their plans. AT&T isn't any better.

I thought the latest round of Nokia phones have rather good cameras - haven't kept up, but they're on the short-list of brands I'd even consider buying.

Was that the model a certain Jean Todt was responsible for?

It has been many decades since the little lion has been sold in NA! Last one I saw here was around the early 70’s or watching reruns of Colombo or the Taxi movies. French cars got a bad rep here and have yet to come back. We had a Renault assembly plant in my town (64 to 72) but it never swayed me to buy a French car. I do see a few R5 Turbo's in attendance at old car shows. On the other hand if I would be in Europe for a few months they would be tempting to try out/lease.

And what’s wrong with calling a car by its color instead of calling out a few mixed up letters of the alphabet?

My Nokia is a few years old, camera lacking. My wife has a new Nokia with a nice camera.. Will need to buy a new one, perhaps later this year.
