Then it tends to make the whole exercise a tad pointless. Why bother with phones
that won't work within the normal range of the towers? ie. demand that the phone
providers provide phones that meet a minimum specification which includes
reception levels?

Isn't the whole point of NextG to provide coverage in areas where other networks
won't reach, hence why they went with 850Mhz network rather than simply
extending the existing higher frequency GSM/3G network out into the stix?
