LG F9200

I'll echo phillyslickset's comments on the solid quality of Nokia phones. It you want a reliable phone that packs good battery life and great reception, go with Nokia. I have have owned both Nokia and LG phones. I like both, but given the choice between the two (with equivalent features) I would go with Nokia. LG tends to package more features in their phones, but it just doesn't have that polished feel that Nokia tends to have. I haven't experienced terrible battery and reception problems with LG. It wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible either. However, if you are specifically interested in the LG F9200, I wouldn't be too concerned about these issues since this phone is based off of an older model (aka, they learned from their mistakes and made a better phone. Hopefully.)
