Dear Folks,
I'm new to this forum, and I like the great advice that you all give to newbies! I still have my old (Verizon) Audiovox 9000, but eventually I'll need a replacement phone.
Please give me some advice on what phones offer some features, that I would like a new phone to have, if possible:
1) Loud volume (I'm a bit hard of hearing)
2) A telescoping antenna
3) A usable external antenna port, so I can hopefully use an external magnetic mount antenna on my car, when I'm driving in signal-poor areas (I live in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado)
4) Tri-mode, because while driving, I could sometimes be in analog areas, or, for times that our digital service fails us, and only analog is left
5) Great reception, with few to no dropped calls
6) Keypad large enough so I won't hit 2 keys at same time
7) Bar phone if possible (haven't owned a flip phone, yet), and I like to be able to see who is calling me, before answering calls, plus I like to be able to see date, day & time, easily
8) Speaker phone
9) potential to work with a good quality car kit
10) Is there a tri-mode version of the Motorola E815 (because I hear good things about the E815)?
Thanks in advance!
Carol
