Thank you everyone for your feedback. I have some thinking to do. I favor the Motorola based on my good experience with my StarTac, but I have to think it over. We are leaving for a weeks vacation and I will decide when we get home.
Again, thank you.

Nope, the terminators had nothing to do with it. Motorola had software issues that every one of their phones had, regardless if an antennae was used or not. Just the cabling to the terminator is enough to get more then enough signal to handle a medium size building. The phone not ringing issue was everywhere, not a particular building or cell site. It was a blatant software issue. Re-read the post again, Motorola did not follow the spec for CDMA when they designed the phone, they tried to rewrite them and it didn't work.
How much mobile technology experience do you have? I take it none.
Motorola never did investigate the issue.
As for the phone not holding up well. How's this, first one dead out of the box. Second one had a short from the bottom to the earpiece unit and the third flexed too much and caused problems. Sorry try again about the flip. The Motorola flip phones in the analog days were nearly indestructible. The digitals phones were extremely fragile from bad engineering and cheapening of components and quality. They went from great phones to POS overnight.
Motorola is dead. Look at most of their products, old antiquated designs. The PowerPC chip will finally move to the .13 micron process this year, nearly 5 years after the other major player moved to it. They are slow to react to market conditions. They were the last major player to get CDMA phones out as well.
Motorola is hardly an American company. The phones are all made overseas just like the foreign phones. The only people that see any of the money are the executives, marketing people and warehouse people.
