What is the best Verizon PHONE?
I am thinking of replacing my 325i, and was wondering what is the best phone Verizon currently has?
All I want is a GOOD PHONE.
I don't want to listen to music.
I don't want to take pictures.
I don't want to send or receive text messages.
I don't want to read my email.
I don't want to watch TV.
I don't want to surf the NET.
I don't want GPS.
I know most phones come with this stuff, but I don't care because I don't use them.
The things that are important to me, are in order:
Reception
Voice quality (of callers)
Voice quality (on the other end)
Battery life

The LG5400 is the BEST basic phone you can get. It has exceptional battery life, good reception and awesome reviews on CNET.

I had a Motorola E815 before my current XV6800.
It has the ability to do some of the things you do not want to do, but that does not mean you have to use them.
As far as a phone, it was the best I have ever owned for reception, and call quality was fine. I used it at the foot of a 200' cliff at the beach with no problems. I always plug in my phones to charge at night, but tis battery life was fine for me.

Granted a lot of the phones come with the features you don't really care about, the ones that I'd recommend would be:
Motorola w755 or
Morotola w385
They're simple, not many bells and whistles and I've seen Motorolas get better service than LG or Samsung in weaker VZW signal areas.
If you're in an area with great signal anyway, I'd say the LG VX5400.
All these modles are affordable and aren't loaded with features you don't need.

if you like the 325 then check out the 385...great cheap phone for signal and sound quality. OTherwise i would say check out the new gzone coming out(the boulder)

I live in a mountainous area and want to upgrade my 325i. Reception is paramount. The 325 has been good - anything better? Don't need a lot of features but a clam shell and rugged. Don't want push to talk feature and I don't have that service.

I would serously recommend the LG5400. I like LG. Never had any problems. But more to the point, it meets the critera You seek with one exception: Its a cameraphone. However, you needn't ever take a picture with it. Its just a good, fairly basic phone.
There was a time when the kind of phone you purchased differented itself in the quality of service you might recieve. Those days are largely over. Most, if not all phones are good. What matters now is cell tower placement, terrain, and the quality of those towers. I will say the Verizon does regulary test their towers and Consumer Reports rates them as the most reliable carrier. So it only comes down to what phone you want. Again, I recommend for your needs the LG5400.

Like the above posters, I would suggest the Motorola W385 or the LG-VX5400. Both are great on battery life and reception.

The fact that AnonDood capitalized PHONE was supposed to mean emphasis, I guess. This is why learning proper 'Net English or English is a good thing if you want to make yourself understandable to others.
Alternatives to "PHONE":
- "*Phone*" (many text editors convert the characters between asteriks to Bold, if they support Bold displays),
- something like "Basic Phone" or "Phone for Voice".
