Default Tri Mode

Can anyone recommend a cell phone with verizon so I can have analog also.
Tri mode ?? LG does not have any I think? . Motorola 325i has but not sure
it is as good as LG. I do not care if the camera is not as good as long as
the reception is great. Thanks to all

LG VX5300 has analog. 325i has better reception but the LG is pretty
close behind.

I think the Motorola W315 is also a tri-mode phone. It does not have a
camera.

Welcome to the FINEST new CELLULAR PHONE produced for CDMA/AMPS triband in
many years! The Motorola M800 and M800 Bagphones.....

Installed in the bag or in the car, it runs 3 WATTS on 800, 2 WATTS on 1900
Mhz...instead of the mambypamby crap toyphones .15 watts, which goes
nowhere in the country.

This phone IS CDMA and GSM available and IS FCC-approved GPS-enabled for
all systems. It is NEW....BRAND NEW!

Need your pocket phone, too? No problemo! The M800 is a pocket phone that
plugs into car or bagphone's powerful antenna/amp system. In your pocket,
it's also a bigger-powered pocket phone....not some glitzy PoS with a
camera and TV and mp3 player for the teenage girls. This is a MANLY phone,
designed for MANLY use...fire, rescue, business, farmers riding around
plowing fields calling their stock brokers in a tractor, government
bureaucrats intent on blowing up more Americans...toys for the BIG BOYS!

500 entry phonebook with 20 entry speech recognition dialing. 5 line
conference calling. Email, FAXes and File transfers using Motorola Phone
Tools. BLUETOOTH on an AMPS phone?! Yep...if Verizon doesn't disable
everything. SMS, too...on an AMPS phone?? A-GPS enabled so the cops can
trace your drug calls. Auxiliary Alert (not sure what that is, yet.)
Internal and EXTERNAL antennas for better reception, just like the old days
on my V60i. Runs off Cig lighter 12V, AC wall brick at FULL LEGAL POWER or
off it's internal Li-Ion in your pocket on lower power.

Being an AMPS-enabled phone, it uses more power. 10 hours standby, you'll
charge it every night. 240 minutes talktime in handset mode. At full
power, it draws 400ma (in the bag I think) to run a REAL transmitter they
can't ignore...(c;

The bag weighs, ready for war, 10 pounds. Toyphone users at the bar will
FLEE in fear of its RF POWER as you slam it down next to your MANLY BEER.

Oh, oh.....sorry.....big trouble......It's only available to serious
cellular users on:

What for? Analog will be gone soon so who cares? FWIW the mot offerings will
most likely have the best tri-mode but frankly after next year it won't
matter.

1900 Mhz analog is offered in very, very small areas and nowhere in th
continental US, as far as I know. Plus once you go to digital, you are back
to 150 mW.
Also, once you have started a call, the base station is controling the power
output of the phone.

Easy pick. v325i.

LG 8300 is a fantastic phone, but no analog.

Just curious, are you in a very rural area?

The 325i is a great tri-mode phone.

I don't know of any 1900 Mhz AMPS. Never saw a phone with 1900 Mhz AMPS
on it. AMPS is on 850 Mhz.

Your comment about 150 mw limit on CDMA is simply not true. CDMA turns
down your transmitter from the control channel to level your signal on
the shared channel with the others using that channel. However, if you
are connecting from way off, beyond where toyphones will be heard, with a
3W amplifier on 800 Mhz into a serious antenna, this gives the system
lots more headroom to adjust your signal to level with. Where a 150mw
pocket phone with no antenna to speak of is at full power 2 miles from a
cell sector, the output power of a better phone, with a real antenna,
will be LESS than the pocket phone...making the same signal at the cell's
receiver. As you increase the range from the "last cell out", the signal
from the little 150mw phone, already at maximum power, tapers off until
the cell's receiver can no longer cope with it being far below the other
users...the call drops. The 3 watt CDMA phone, into a high gain antenna,
is simply told to increase its power to level the system. It doesn't run
out of signal/noise ratio until way beyond the range of the little
one....giving you way more range in areas where there are few towers
widely spaced apart, even on CDMA or GSM.

I have a Moto V60i, trimode with AMPS, that I use in the countryside
fixing church organs for a living. Leaving the city, I plug the V60i's
rear-mounted antenna connector into a 3W/2W bi-directional amplifier, the
DA4000 from cellantenna.com mounted in my service stepvan. A 6db,
permanently-mounted, dual band antenna is on top of the truck. My range
is about 5 times the range of the V60i alone because of the increased
overhead power range. Watching the power output dbm on the V60i test
mode page of its display, you can watch CDMA on Alltel (or Verizon I used
to have for that matter) reduce the output of the V60i to compensate for
the gain of the amp/antenna system. The V60i rarely bumps its 300mw
power limit driving the amp/antenna out in the boonies where I must have
service. To make this even sweeter, once I get to the worksite, I erect
an 11-element DB Products 800 Mhz paging yagi on a 25' swimming pool
aluminum telescoping handle above the truck and point it at the nearest
tower as I watch the tower's signal level on my receiver. This adds
another 8-10 db gain over the moving antenna, again, reducing the phone's
output power accordingly, if necessary. I normally don't fool with the
beam unless I'm having trouble with the mobile antenna's connectability.

Offshore sailing in the Atlantic, If I put the beam 50' up the mainmast
of the ketch and point it towards the coast as much as I can, with the
DA4000 running off the house batteries, I have cellphone service to
Alltel on CDMA or AMPS out 50 to 60 miles into the Atlantic....instead of
3-5 of everyone else's toyphone aboard.

The cell controls the power output. The 3W amp and high gain antenna
simply give it a far higher available power limit with which to level my
signal against the others closer in. Works great. So will the
M800/M900.

Verizon won't have it any more.

Several rural carriers need it and are continuing to use it.

If you never leave the big cities, it probably makes no difference
whether your phone has analog capability or not.
