 Strange, the TDMA/GSM Pacbell PCS phone over here xmits 1w.  And it has a
 longer battery life than the TDMA 200mw digital phone.  Strange.

 The thing I liked the best was for my elite, it had a plug where I could
 plug a mike and earpiece in and walk around in a store and be talking to
 myself but actually be on the phone.  Looked cool, worked great.
 SC> It would be nice to be able to limit the max power on fm to 200mw as

I don't think FM would be able to make any calls then :)
