I am probably replacing by new V265 next week. Can someone recommend a
phone? I'm on the Verizon network. I'd like it to have Bluetoothe, a
speaker phone be able to download mp3s for ringtones, both from the net
and from my home computer. A camera would be nice, but not necessary.

Any and all help appreciated.

I'd recomend the Razr. I've only had it a little over a week but so far,
it's really nice. The way it looks is great. But, more important, I'm
getting the best signal from the Razr then any of the other phones that i've
had. In my house I usually don't get a great signal and drop calls inside
the house. Now with the razr I've been getting a decent signal compared to
all the other phones. No dropped calls but even if the signal was low, with
the bluetooth headset, i could set the phone near the window and be free to
walk around :)

I have had my E815 for about 4 months now, sons phone 276, other family
members have LG's from a year ago. I like motos, always had good luck
with them. Ticked off that they crippled BT on them but a seem edit
clears that up nicely. The razr may have a major problem with connecting
to the internet by itself. There was a thread on hofo about that,
something about the number 2 &3 keys sticking up too far and being pushed
by the cover closing. Not clear on it as the razr while a nice phone has
no transflash capability and I need the memory for taking picks for
documentation of installs and cabling. My setup is a jensen am/fm/cd/bt
head unit in my jeep, HS850 bt headset for when I'm not in it. It works
really well for me, phone stays out of sight and protected mostly.
Personally I have had poor luck with LG phones, they seem to break too
easily around equipment racks and servers farms. The upside on the razr
is that aparently thru a mistake or intentional they left full obex
enabled on them which is a very big plus for those not comfortable with
editing phone system seem files...

What other phones are you comparingthe reception to?. If you said
other Motorolas like the 815 I'd be impressed.

Would genuinely like to know how the reception on the Motorola CDMA
Razr with its internal antenna compares with the 815 and its external
extendable antenna
