It is amazing. You can read but you cannot understand. Let me talk a
little slower for your benefit. Maybe if I talk slower, you can listen a
little harder. Look back on my posts and this is exactly what I said. " I
have had a lot of phones sine the 1970s." I went on to say that as the
networks, ATT, CellOne, Sprint, and now Verizon matured throughout the
years, the service areas improved dramatically. Of course there still are
areas of very poor coverage, but the Verizon Network is currently the best
overall network in the nation. Remember, I said that there are specific
areas which are exceptions. I also said that with each on the new phones
that I purchased, I found new features and better sound quality. Yes, every
now and then one of the phones was a dog, but in general, each generation of
phone was an improvement over the last. I have a LG VX4500 and my wife has
a LG VX6000 and I personally think they are great. Remember, that is my
opinion.
You came back with a nonsense reply saying, "Are you saying that cars made
in the mid 1970s were better quality than that is made today? That the
televisions made on the 1970s performed better than the ones made today?
The answer is no. That is not what I was saying. Now, I hope you
understood what I said.
I think I have spent way too much of my time answering your replies.
Have a good day.
