I'm currently a Verizon customer in Southern CA.  I own the Kyocera
7135.  It's a great phone, but overkill for my use and too large for
my taste.

I would like to replace it with a phone from either Verizon or
Tmobile.  I'm looking for your suggestions.

My requirments are in no particular order:

Small, like V300 size.

Sturdy. I'm a very active person and I need a phone that can take a
bump or two every now and then.  I like a solid feeling phone as well.

Battery life:  Best possible.

Sound quality: Loud.

Bluetooth

FLIP:  This is a must.  I love the clamshell.

Relialbe: I think that's a given

Well, t-mobile is GSM, Verizon is CDMA. Are you happy with Verizon
coverage? Have you talked to local t-mobile customers to see how
coverage is?

Maybe you should also talk to Cingular / AT&T customers as well if
interested in GSM.  I have found their coverage in both LA & Orange county
to be quite good.

I'm fairly happy with Verizon, but I HATE to have to go into their
stores.  Rude, lack knowlege and poor customer service.  Tmobile is
the opposite in that regard for me.

I once owne both a Tmo and Verizon phone at the same time.  Both
phones had good reception everywhere I went.

I will NOT return to ATT EVER unless they bend over and kiss my back
side.  I was a customer of theirs for many years with many phones on
one account.  When I went to make a change on the account, after many
years, they told me they showed I owed them some money form like seven
years prior and three cell companies ago.  When I explained to them
that this was NOT possible they didn't care and gave me the run
around.  I'm fuzzy on the details, but in the end I was proven right
when they removed the overdue account from my name after a few months.
Too late for them, I'd already switched.  

I also found that ATT never had a great selection of phones.

All of this may be mute as I did a search on phonescoop phone finder
and few of the phones met my needs.

From what I have found in the US (I visit there regularly from Australia),
not any one supplier has a great selection of phones compared to the rest
of the world, unfortunately.

Mute?  You mean no sound?

Company owned stores?  Independent dealers?  Kiosks in malls?

Cingular now owns the AT&T Wireless name, so you wouldn't be dealing
with AT&T.

I did forget to mention that I did have a great plan with ATTWS.  I
had one of the foundation accounts.  I just couldn't allow them to
treat me like crap though.
