I have found my RAZR V3m (silver) satisfactory.  My wife has one as well 
and is satisfied.

I'm coming up on my "New Every Two" (December) and I'm not sure that I 
could buy a better phone.  I like the PDA features on the Blackberry and 
thought about buying a one but I'm told that I must pay for the extra 
features whether I use them or not!  I don't need to send E-mail from my 
phone or receive it!  I prefer a 21" display for web surfing.  My phone, 
and any phone I know of, have about one tenth of that!

I carry a phone for emergencies.  When my wife and I were "rear ended" 
  at a stop-light I just took the phone out of my pocket, scrolled 
through "contacts" to "Police"  and had the police on the phone in less 
than a minute.

I also use it to find my wife in large stores; whip it out, hit 
"contacts" scroll down to her number and hit send.  When she answers: 
"Where are you?"  "Aisle 10". <click>
