Thanks for the reply. I'll try swapping batteries between the 2 phones
& see if the performance changes. Anecdotally, getting on with the poor
performing phone on the charger doesn't seem to improve matters.

My wife and I have identical cell phones, Siemens model A56. My

establish a
connection. What would account for this difference? Is mine simple
a
"lemon", perhaps having some portion(s) of its rf alignment off?
Since
mine is older, could the battery be a bit weaker? Our service is
Cingular, they do offer other phones, these are probably their least
expensive option. I'm wondering if other brands/models perform
better
in terms of connection, general sound quality, etc. If they are like
virtually every other electronic device (no reason to assume they are
not) it seems likely some make/models preform better than others.
I'm
wondering if anyone tests various cell phones for these things
(Consumer
Reports, maybe)? Anyone know?
TIA

I'd check the battery first. It may not be as fresh as the one in your
wife's phone and that may be the problem. Good luck.
