V60i. Also nice because it's got a nice druable metal case, and it's a a
very compact flip phone.

You might try the V400, but I can't say how good the recption is. I would
have a hard time exchanging the nice metal body for this plastic one, even
for the bigger colour screen.

Which is another advantage of the V60i. Mine will got for more than a week
without a charge at times.

I moved from Shmelus to FIDO due to drop calls, I have been with FIDO for 3
years and never had a droped call yet, presently I use a Nokia 6600 and a
Nokia 3595 and sometimes a Samsung S300 all have great reception,
I think the Nokia 3595 and the then the 6600 have great RF
