Just upgraded my phone from the old startech phone to a new Motorola V 325. I think most phones are basically the same. The features that I was most interested are the ability to switch between analog and digital signals. This phone has 3 ways to get a signal. Analog, digital and satellite. It may seem insignificant unless you spend a lot of time on the road. I also have a camp in the Rangely ME area and the ONLY signal available is analog. Most salesmen do not know anything about the different signals and will tell you that they have digital towers everywhere. You always can tell when a salesman is lying because his or her lips are moving!

Version only has a couple of phones that cover all signals. Look and ask before purchasing one. The V 325 has all the bells and whistles with the exception of Bluetooth capabilities. Runs about 100 bucks with a 50-buck rebate from Motorola. Final cost is about 50 bucks. I got my phone at BJ Verizon and they also threw in the car charger, a case, earphone dodad and programmed it from my old phone saving my telephone book and settings.

Thumbs up

I went with the Razor for $80 on-line. Not bad I think. I'll have to wait and see.

A good friend of mine had an impressive display of Razor durability.

He left it on the roof of his car while getting out of his waders and drove away, in the process running over the phone.

It was over an hour before he realized it was missing and where he lost it. A good rainstorm had passed since then. When he got back not only was it run over it was underwater in a puddle, still lit up from a recently missed call.

It worked for 4 more days before finally calling it quits. There's something to be said for phones with metal frames. I had (I believe the model was V60) an old Moto with a metal body and it was by far the toughest phone I have ever owned.

Got a razor for my girl at the Verizon store for free (after rebate)...maybe because she's been with them for two different contract periods.
She loves it.
Later,
Rick
