I live in the Morristown area in New Jersey. Most of my calls are local, sometimes to or from NY or Mass. I had a solar battery that only is compatible with the 5100,6100 series of Nokia, it finally broke but it worked great for one year. I have been told that Nokia has the longest standby time and I need to buy a replacement phone ASAP. Please tell me whi ch model I should buy, be it Nokia or another brand. I take long drives at times and although I know I may use a portable charger, I would like to have a phone with a long talk time available. I don't like AT&T. What provider should I go with? Does Voice stream have a good Nokia and a strong cell? I've heard very good things about Verizon but the Nokia's they offered didn't seem to have the longer talk times. You are the e+perts, sorry my keyboard. If I re-locate to Boston.........IF. I am not able to wait for a new provider I need to take care of this immediately. Please help me pull this together. I need at least 500 min. day and 1000 nights and weekends, this is at a minimum, but works fine. can I spend under $100, for the phone? BTW, I get longdistance and regional for 3 cents a minute (land line), if you are interested www.kissld.com, I've saved a bundle. Thanks
