Have had to motorola phones to date with no problems what so ever. The
antenna has been pulled form one on several occassions, they been
dropped to many times to count, and have gotten wet. Have never had
any problems with them. My wife has also had 2 or 3 motorolas with no
problem. I currently have an LG, and my next phone will be another
motorola, more then likely.
