I'm looking to buy a phone for my parents. I myself am a Motorola user but they prefer Nokia because of better signal strength and reception. I've been scouting around and i see that the ROKR E1 seems like a decent phone, cheap, great screen, and best of all it's not an old *** 2002 model and the good speakers could mean that i could borrow it once in a while. So i'm wondering if the reception is good, especially in low signal areas, are dropped calls frequent?
And while i'm here i'd like to list the criteria for their requirements in order of priority:
- Reception
- Decent screen (65k and up)
- Big keys (at least easy to handle)
- Price range $100-150
That's about it, i was seriously considering the Nokia 6170 because it looked very sturdy, great screen, and the keys look easy to press, but i found out the antenna is stored under the battery which -20% signal strength and it turned me off completely. So, opinions needed! And any suggestions welcome, both Nokia or Moto, thanks!
