Motorola E815 (Unlocked)

Typically I haven't been satisfied with the quality of mobile phones that any of the mobile providers offer. My last phone was a Nokia and was very reliable (in service and durability) but very bulky. I have been very satisfied with Verizon service in the past 2 years that I've had it. So the only thing I needed was a good phone to complement my great service. The e815 is just that phone.

Sound quality - Compared to my old Nokia, which I thought did the job, the P2P sound this phone produces is very clear and almost digital sounding.

Bluetooth - I use Bluetooth with it and it works great even though data transfer is disabled. I'm not the guy that would use if for that purpose so I suppose if you wanted that you'd be disappointed.

Durability - So far it appears to be holding up very well (it's only been a month or so). I ordered the extended warranty with it. A learning lesson from all my previous phone experiences. But I'm not sure I really need it. I don't get the feeling this thing is gonna shatter if I drop it.

Size - It's not the Razr, but then again I heard the Razr has been a technological disappointment, so I am willing to sacrifice size for sound quality, digital reception, and durability. It's still well-packaged for all the features it offers.

Features - Offers more than any other phone I've had. It's a very easy-to-use UI with all the features that phones are offering right now. 1.6MP camera, PIX Messaging, Txt Messaging, MP3 ringtones, ringback tones, VCast (which isn't available in all areas yet). My favorite feature is the Message Center where you can look at all your different types of messages (voice, txt, pix) and very easily access them. Speakerphone is also available on this which can be useful. And the voice recognition is pretty good (although not great when you're going through Bluetooth).

If you're looking for a good, reliable phone, I think Motorola produced a winner with this one.
