W385 I need your opinions...

Ok so currently i own an LG EnV and my backup phone is the Moto E815...I love the E815 for the reception but i have to say, the bars on the phone definetly lie...i go to the north shore on Long Island where Service is spotty at best and my EnV wil simply have no bars but claims a signal whereas my E815 will show 3 bars but will not connect to any calls or send texts...I know the E815 has better reception but it bothers me that it shows service when there is none...

On another note i went though a charger on the E815 as it started doing power cycles when i plugged it in so i got a new charger and now im good...

with that i want to sell me E815 for something as reliable however newer and smaller...

I call the W385 owners...I hear this...

Ok after doing a little more research i realized i could pick up a mint condition V325i for $60 while a W385 is going to cost me around $125-$150...so i'm leaning more towards the V325i only because its the same exact thing just not razr style and it has a bigger scren & the blue lights...

so any input on the W385 is welcomed but more importantly is the V325i owners....hows the reception compared to the E815???

Given Moto's track record, you can't really say that until a few months down the road.

If it hasn't been mass-returned by then, you're in the clear.

so i bought a V325i on eBay for $37.35 in excellent condition with box and charger...seems like a great deal when comparing it to what the other auctions are ending at..

From what it seems...The W385 gets as good a reception as the V325i if not better...and besides the blue lights, i find the W385 to have a nicer syle coupled with no red bars!!! SO i will probably sell the V325i along with my E815 and pick up a W385...what do you guys think? anyone have any thoughts on the V325i as far as reception?

I think you are way too impulsive to make a responsible decision. You asked for opinions, ignored them, bought a phone on e-bay and now you want to sell it already?

There is an art in life called "listening". What good is asking for advice here or anywhere in life if you don't listen.
Actually, I have lost track of what you now own and what your goal is because you are all over the place.

ok im not all over the place im only dealing with 2 phones...v325i and w385...the reason i purchased the v325i on impulse is b/c it went off on ebay for so cheap (pennies for me)

I absolutely love my Motorola w385. I went to Chicago for the weekend and there are so shaddy spot on the way there and it worked great....absolutley crystal clear reception the entire weekend. I also live in a area where the reception is shotty and I could never have much luck with LG's and this phone works every time!
