What cell phone can you actually hear someone on? I currently have a Nokia 6102 (Cingular). I like the features of the phone: color display, IR so I can upload my own pics and ringtones, good battery, ok camera, very customizable. The problem is, I cannot HEAR anyone when they talk! I have the phone turned up to max volume and if I don't have it positioned just right on my ear, I can't hear half of what someone says. I'm really not interested in an earpiece, I don't care about bluetooth (one more thing for me to lose), I would just like a phone that I can talk on. Does anyone have a suggestion as to the best phone you can actually hear on that has some of, or all of the above features? I don't need or want anything extravagant, just something that works.

How can I plug a regular phone into my cell phone? I'm in love with the idea of those Hulger handsets--they look like cool retro phones and plug straight into your cell phone.

What is a good unlocked GSM phone to be used solely overseas? I currently have Alltel and Nextel services.

I understand Alltel currently have no world phone, and Nextel has the i930 as it only marketed world phone but I cannot afford to cough up another $400.00 for the phone because I spent enough as is with travel and all. So, please advise me on the proper venue as I'm quite oblivious.

Has anyone tried to use a cell phone on a airplane during a flight? I have flown several times since 9/11. Twice going to and from New York and Oregon and several flights to Arizona to Oregon and back. In each flight I would turn on my cell phone to see if I could get a connection. I always got no service available to apear on my sceen. About a year ago I read on the internet that in order for people to use cell phones on flying aircraft the airplanes would need to have a special antenna installed. This has not begun to happen yet. So my question would be. If you can not get service on your cell phone while flying in an airplane. On 9/11 how did the people on board those doomed aicraft manage to use their cell phone to call out to their loved ones? I'm not counting the people who used the available at great cost aircraft phones just the ones who are said to have used their cell phones. Just one of the holes in the vast 9/11 story.
