I'm probably trading in my vx6100 phone in for a different one before my
15 days is up, anyone have suggestions on a good phone?
Thanks!

I would suggest going to Sprint. They have a much larger selection of phones
to choose from. I got tired of Verizon's lack of phone selections. Verizon
has the worst phone choices of all cell providers. Why is this the case?

I think it's too late to change now, i have 15 days to change phones, but I
think i'm stuck with the verizon contract. Maybe I'm wrong.

I think the 15 day period applies to the contract as well. All you will
pay for is the air time you used.

Just make sure the other carrier you choose has the coverage you need. A
cute phone is worthless if it doesn't make calls reliabily.

I would suggest V265 from Verizon. This phone gets excellent reception.

I don't disagree, but for my area (NY Metro):

Sprint=best phone selection, worst coverage and 2nd worst CS.
Verizon=worst phone selection, best coverage and CS.

If the phone is more important to you, or if Sprint has better or equal
coverage where you use the phone, I'd go to Sprint too.

From what I hear, Verizon is going to be releasing some new phones at the
beginning of February. I've read the LG VX8000 is due out Feb. 1st. Quite
possibly, the Samsung a890 and the Audiovox CDM-8940 are due to be out that
day too (don't quote me on that though as I'm not really sure). Don't know
if any other phones are set to come out soon.

I think most any area could be substituted for (NY Metro) in your statement.

Consumer Reports just did a review of cell phone providers and listed
Verizon as best CS, and best signal in every one of the 27 cities they
looked at including NYC. 2nd best was T-Mobile, and last was either
Cingular or AT&T depending on the city - the review was done just prior
to Cingular & AT&T merging... I'm also frustrated with the phone
choices, but I used to be on T-Mobile, and had a really great phone,
but with a lousy signal... I'd rather have a mediocre phone that works
well when I'm on the phone.

You're right. The phone is only as good as the service you are getting on
it. I don't care how many bells and whistles the phone has. If you can't
get reception, hear the other person, etc., what good is it? It's just an
expensive paper weight. Bottom line, try the service for the grace period
(if the company offers it) and if you're happy, stick with it.

Y'know, I kind of thought that, and Consumer Reports agreed with me for the
most part, but I was really trying to be objective.
