What's the best cellphone? And, Why?

Thanks for your input ballinballer.

Forgive my ignorance here, but what is chirping?

Thanks jmanzano17.

Good advice about keeping cool technology out of 'snatchers' line of sight.

What features are you touting with the IPhone? And, how is for range and reliablity with transmission obstacles ... like mountains or tall buildings?

Boy oh boy, can I relate ... my current Kyocera has 'doggie' tooth marks!.

I've been looking at the razor too. The price isn't going to be an issue for me because I'm due for a free phone, and the razor is one that I could get at no charge through Verizon.

I carry my digital camera in my purse, and phone cameras have smaller dpi, so other than the camera feature why are you leaning toward the razor?

My mistake. The website is:

http://www.ConsumersReports.org.

Sorry about that.

Hi Lloyd,

You're right, it is confusing!!! Bluetooth, or no bluetooth, wireless, PDA, camera, etc... Woosh, it's dizzying!

Great suggestion to check out Consumer Reports. It is an excellent resource. I also really value 'The man on the streets' opinions. So, if I really do my homework, I'll investigate both.

Oh, speaking of features that sound cool, but never get used ... what features ended up being the most important?

Thanks for correcting the website Lloyd. I knew what you meant. But it was very thoughtful of you to clarify.

Thank you Coolfreessi.

I haven't seen the Motorola Slim. Unless, the Slim is the same as the Razor? If the Slim and the Razor are synonymous, then it's one that I've been looking into.

Oops! Sorry I botched the spelling of your name, Coofresia. Just woke up so, I'll ask for a pass, this time.

Is it 'fresia' for the flower?

Good morning Siddharth24x7, & thank you for your input!

Well, Ericsson has certainly been in the business of producing cell phones .... well, from the very beginning. One would think they know their business. I've never had an Ericsson phone. Perhaps you're right. I should look at the industry long-time manufacturers.

Trendy isn't really of great importance to me. Durability, speakerphone, and range are most important.

OK, so I'll investigate Ericsson as well. Thanks!

Good morning Smartbrain69, & thanks for your feedback!

Hmmm! The 'LG' is the one that comes in all the colors: like Chocolate and Lime Green, isn't it?

What features do you like/dislike about the 'LG'?

Is it set up with Bluetooth (or another wireless) configuration? If so, do you use the wireless feature?

And, how does it do in the presence of tall buildings, or mountains, as is my case?

Hi Beanie.

I narrowed the choice down to two, one of which was the razor, so I'll take your warning to heart. I'll take a look at the Sidekick. I really need to get on it with making this choice ... ugghh -- no more procrastinating on this. Thanks for the 'heads up'.

Hi Umair627,

Thanks for your input on this. I've been travelling so I still haven't picked out a new phone ... uggg ... procrastination!

How is the Nokia 6630 for clarity in and among tall buildings or mountains? Thanks again!
