I don't have a KX3 (yet), but whenever I do acquire one it will be a lot more capable and fun than any cell phone....even if it doesn't have an internal mic (good idea!) Cell phones are just tools, not hobby/emergency com items.....both have legitimate purposes.
Also, I wonder if there is enough room within the KX3 to include cell phone circuits?? Hmmmm? Flame suit on................
