Returning my 6000; Come back 4500

Lost my 4500 12 days ago. Picked up a 6000 for with 14-day ret policy. I'll be brief...

6000 vs. 4500
1. 4500 has better reception: 4500 has service when 6000 does not (Antenna on 6000 not much help, neither is the 4500's)
2. I miss the Spkerphone on the 4500: more for dialing, on-hold, 2-in-the-car/room type stuff; the spkerphone on the 4500 was THE best one I ever heard/seen; duplex at its best.
3. The mag alloy body on the 6000 is virtually unbreakable for it's slim girth; still scratchable; 4500 much less scratch resistant though.
4. Both extremely slow with Internet Access (as you would expect). Now we should talk about the 4700....

I will get into the heavy & subtle details later as I need to go to bed.

BTW: This is my first post.

I just discovered the call-screening feature of the 6000; does any other 1900 phone have this? It is quite excellent. If this thing had a speaker-out, I wouldn't hesitate at this point.

I have by Friday 6pm to return this 6000 (got at Sprint for $300, the 4500 is $150, the 4700 will be out in December at the latest, no pricing but I guess in the $150-$200 range). Many of the G3 Sprint phones will be out in December as well.

Feedback would be appreciated.

I'm pretty sure the Sanyo 5000 has the call screening feature. However, I don't think you should consider the 5000 as an option.

I absolutely love my sanyo 5000, but if you don't like the recetion limitations of the 6000 then the 5000 probably isn't any better.

However I find that my telus coverage is excellent with the 5000. Haven't been in analog once since I got it!

No tears; got at temporary TouchPoint 2200;spkrphone sucks.

Will give my detailed 6000 review very soon; if I returned it, you already got the message.
