Looks like time to upgrade my phone. Rogers GSM. Toronto area.
Any comments on which current models are best for reception?
Looking at Samsung X426, Motorola V220 V551.
Mostly I just need phone and occasional e-mail.
I've always like Nokia but I want something smaller that I can put on my  
belt.
Thanks.

I personally used to have the X426.  I never really used it for anything other than voice.  I really liked it.  It's a fantastic phone that has to be the most durable phone I've ever owned.  It didn't have the worlds best reception, but while I had it I dropped it in puddles, down stairways, one time I was drunk at a bar and it fell on the dance floor and a few people stepped on it.  Anyways it never failed once.  It still works fine to this day, I ultimately bought a Motorola Razr since I got a good deal on it.  My Samsung is still in use, my grandparents use it as a paygo phone.  
 
Of the phones you talked about I'd say the x426 is the best of the bunch.
