Motorola Tundra Va76r
This is a good phone, but not perfect.
Pros:
-Best reception ever! It pulls in signal even in dead zones on the Fido/Rogers network.
-Talk quality is excellent! It sounds like a land line! Best talk quality I've ever had on a cell phone!
-Crystal talk plus really works. The phone amplifies when there is background noise and it cuts off background noise so people on the other end hear you well too. Just don't hold it too crooked between your ear and shoulder. If the mike is too far to the side of your mouth the person on the other end will tell you the reception is breaking up.
-Speaker phone is loud and clear even in the car.
-Feels like a real phone and not a toy. Key pad is nice too.
Cons:
-Not as user friendly as one would think to transfer phone numbers from one Motorola to the Tundra using the Motorola phone tools software.
-Rugged, but not rugged enough. I dropped it several times no sweat and it survived cement dust and rain drenched pockets, but today it fell from between my ear and shoulder onto a sheet of plywood on the ground. A normal phone should have survived that fall, yet my tundra broke at the hinge! It's finished now, but I could still backup my contacts. Very disappointing since my Motorola Pebble survived triple the hardcore usage! It was the cement dust that killed the pebble.
-I bought the phone for the GPS feature and it took me 2 weeks in geek forums to get a free GPS application to work! But it did finally work!
Verdict:
I'm shopping for another rugged phone. I'm torn between the Sonim xp3.2 Quest Pro and the Motorola va76r. I read a review that the Sonim sounds "muddy" and since the talk quality with the Motorola Tundra is the best I've ever experienced, I'm leaning towards buying it again.
