First, that review is getting better each time I read it. Great job!

My question for the day, is the phone dual mode (analog+PCS) or PCS only? Put another way, when you go out of a digital service area, can you still make a phone call?

On the left coast where I live, PCS coverage is hard to find in the rural areas, and Verizon phones typically operate on the analog network in these locatons.

Thanks for the feedback on the review. I did make some changes on it yesterday to address some of the questions that have come up.

A quick visit to the FCC site indicates that it is in fact a tri-mode/dual-band phone. Keep in mind that the official model number is SPH-i700, but SCH-i700 is tha marketing model number. If you remove the battery and look at the FCC ID you'll see that it is A3LSPHI700.

One interesting note is that all of the documentation and photos on the FCC site refer to Sprint not Verizon, yet Verizon got it first.

If you want to check it out, go HERE. You'll need the FCC ID which I mention above. The review has been updated to include the answer to the question too.
