    Rising up from the ashes of the first, this one is more aimed on the technical side of this wonderful world.

    SO! If you know it, what technology do you use?

    Mine: A trimode dual-band TDMA and AMPS.

    I can only answer the first question (yes) because I don't have the faintest idea what all the rest of those acronyms mean.

    I've got one of those phones that sends and receives calls. It can also do text messages and has 3 games, an alarm clock, and a selection of annoying ringtones. Does that help?

    2. GSM 2 band
    3. Dual

    Yeah, my phone is getting kind of old. Do me a favor and check out my amazon.com wishlist thread and buy me the Motorola RAZR for T-Mobile...or the un-locked one. :rolling:

    Buy you a RAZR, Kitrax? Sorry, no money to spare... besides, I like the 8801 better. And if you think your GSM is old... Dude, I have a *TDMA*, which is even older... :roll:
