I'm only a few months into a 2-yr Cingular contract and I've had it wit
my service while using my Motorola V400 phone. Dropped calls, faile
calls, calls where nobody can hear anybody else, etc. I've gone throug
many rounds with Customer Service to no avail (they tell me I'm i
"great coverage areas" in Canton, Dearborn, Livonia, etc., I replace
the phone under warranty, got a new SIM card, even changed to a "new
plan to fix my poor service).

I'm trying to avoid a costly contract cancellation fee, so I'
contemplating buying a new phone. Any recommendations? I prefer a fli
phone (or anything that's not a candy bar), a camera (megapixel woul
be great), and I don't mind spending a few bucks if I get somethin
that works. I don't know whether to blame Cingular service or my mode
phone. I've had nothing but Motorola cell phones over the years (
StarTac, T720, and now my V400) and I'm not sure if Motorola is m
problem or not. I'd appreciate any recommendations, especially fro
anyone in the Detroit area with similar experience. Thanks!

P.S. I am contemplating breaking my contract and switching to Verizon
I just went to the store today and fell in love with the LG VX8100
