 SC> I had a chance to borrow a Sony CMRX 100, that's the little square on
 SC> with the  microphone that pops out. Nice phone, thumbwheel switch on
 SC> the side to step  thru your memories, fold out the mike and your call
 SC> goes thru. I found it easy  to operate while driving.
That phone is a little to small for my preferences, although it looks like
it'd be a nice phone to show off with.  They are selling the motorola star
tac's over here for $199, a pretty good deal considering they were $1699
coming factory direct :)
 SC> I've been playing with the Qualcomm Qcp-800 lately, nice phone,
 SC> cdma/amps  hybrid handheld phone made by Sony, caller ID, excellent
 SC> audio quality, I like  it, for a handheld it's a great phone. Of
 SC> course, when the going gets rough  it's gonna drop the call while a
 SC> real phone will continue, maybe with some  noise but at least the call
 SC> will continue. 
 SC> Another good test of a phone is to drive for an hour and see how the
 SC> call holds up. I do my testing in Southern N.H. where the cell sites
 SC> aren't very close and where my 3 watt diamondtel is running wide open
 SC> quite a bit of the time.   That's the place to test a phone for
 SC> performance. 
Are you running the Sony in CDMAor amps mode?  In amps mode it will drop
the call, CDMA is pretty good at holding the call depending on the quality
of the cell cite, although you get strange voice anomolies when you are
in a bad service area in CDMA mode.  Love not having a touch of static though
it's great.
... Maybe it's right to be nervous now...
