your right but their new low end portable phone is recent and has a very attractive price point, some fantastic features and decent plans.

I was seriously looking at it. I think one issue for me was that you had to have a clear line of sight with the horizon and I think you have to be outside when using it. Several people on THT have them and there was a comparison to some of the others. I can't recall but there were some issues. Frankly, as long as it works all the time, and has a reasonable plan or prepaid, then it is fine buy me.

Accessories for all these things (all brands) are expensive. For example if you want a charging cradle with a roof top antenna (so you don't have to stand outside in bad weather to us it) can be very costly. in some cases more than the phone itself
