The question really comes down to output power. I don't know what power levels the 1.9GHz phones operate at to know if they really are superior or not. Given equal power, there's no doubt that they'll do better than a 5.8GHz phone. I always felt that old school 900MHz phones did better than the 2.4GHz phones that replaced them.
I haven't had a land line in some time. I carry both a personal HTC Windows Mobile smartphone on Sprint's network and a work-provided iPhone 3G on AT&T's network. -----Original Message----- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of DSinc Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 4:17 PM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] Phone confusion Greg, Ah! So the lower freq of DECT 6.0 sorta supports the range and "clarity" hype of these phones over my current 5.8GHz phone? So, you would be pro-DECT 6.0? Even though I suppose you have normal or high-tech cell technology........ :) Best, Duncan Greg Sevart wrote: > At 1.9GHz, you're 500MHz away from the closest wifi bands.
