FYP. As for the comments regarding the Razr as a piece of [censored], the Razr is the most popular phone out there, of course it will encounter problems if it's the highest celling mobile phone out there.

Generally speaking, Nokia phones have the best reception and are the most reliable phones out there. If you go with Nokia, the 6102 is a quality phone, as well as the Nokia 3220.

Do not go with LG..they make decent phones but are not nearly as good as Nokia or Motorola in terms of quality and reliability. Stick with Nokia or Motorola.

As for carriers? Hmm..Cingular is pretty decent. Largest network in the nation, no roaming charges, no long distance (while making domestic calls), free calls to other Cingular customers, rollover minutes, yada yada yada. First rate plan available $39.99 450 Anytime minutes, Unlimited Mobile 2 Mobile, Unlimited Nights and Weekends.

Keep us updated!

Well I've done a little research and it seems that Verizon or Sprint are probably my best bet, around new orleans and Jacksonville at least. Reviews of the razr (god that's a stupid name) are sufficiently bad that I can't see myself getting one. The motorola v276 seems like a solid choice for Verizon. Samsung SPH-A560 looks decent for Sprint.

Any thoughts?

I recently switched from Verizon to T-Mobile- picked up a Nokia 6101. I love it. Does pretty much everything I need from a phone.

Re: New cell phone and plan: need advice

i 've had a Razr for six months now, and I love it...no problems at all...light as a feather, fits perfectly in my pocket, sound quality is great and it looks snazzy.

T-mobile just came out with the nextgen model of the Samsung D500 which I currently use with Cingular. Great phone, not sure about t-mobile service though, never used.

Samsung E635
