This may seem like a very naive question, but from those who
have used a variety of Sprint phones, can someone offer opinions about
the sound and signal-holding properties of Motorola phones (along with
any other qualities that seem significant - menu design, etc.)?

I have been with Sprint for eight years, and except for my
Nokia 6185 at the very beginning, I have used only Sanyo phones since.

I'll probably be renewing my contract this spring, and if I do
I'll no doubt ask for some benefit - perhaps a phone discount. I've
never even tried a Motorola phone and I'm wondering if they're worth
considering on Sprint's network.

Thanks in advance, DGI
