A while back, there was a thread here with recommendations for different models of Verizon phones. My wife and I are both in the market for new phones now, and I'm no longer up to speed on the latest and greatest.

I'm thinking that I want something with:

1. Good reception
2. Good battery life
3. Small size - no pda-size or bulky phones
4. Bluetooth (optional)

6 months ago I was leaning toward the Motorola 815 (I think?). What's the best out there now? Any good deals to be had?

either the 815 or RAZR v3c... I just got the RAZR and I love it!

 

both are great choices, i also have the V3c and it is a nice phone. 815 has more features but V3c has a better form factor IMO.

 

I just picked up the Treo 650, i know you said no bulky phones but i like mine a lot. It has a lot of nice features, good reception, and battery life is great.. The RAZR is also a nice phone. Ive heard good things.

 

I'd say get the Samsung. It has all features you're looking for. The Razor is nice looking and all, but it's such a flimsy phone. A few drop and parts are everywhere. Also, I don't like phone that has a built in antenna, can't seem to pick up reception very well in some area.

 

lg vx8100 it's decent reception. Good price and its very solid.

 

Yeah the Samsungs are good quality phones.

 

So the Samsung SCH-950a seems to be their flagship model. I really liked my old Samsung about a year or 2 ago. I like the RAZR as well, but I've heard too many stories of them breaking after being dropped.

Does anyone here have the Samsung SCH-950a? I haven't heard much about the reception, battery life, bluetooth, etc. I just know that it's supposed to be a generally good phone.

Try HowardFroums you'll learn everything you (n)ever wanted to know about the various phones.

 

Nextel....naw im just frustrated that they wanted a huge deposit a few years ago when I wanted to join up. Now I got Nextel and T-Mobile. LOL. Anyway Razr is a great phone homie, plus Verizon has great service anyway.
