My e815 is on the fritz once again and it's a crapshoot as to when I plug it in, it willl charge, do nothing, charge but never turn off the backlight which means it won't charge either, say unable to charge, or finally just reboot itself forever until the plug is removed.

That being said, I want a cool phone without a lot of stupid crap I don't need on it. something with a nice big color screen and that is small enough to be kept in a front pocket comfortably.

Suggestions?

Join the club.

I'm sick of Verizon's phone selection. But I don't control the cell phones in this house, so can't do anything about it.

I loved this phone, if they could have just fixed the glitches I would have used it forever.

That chocolate phone is the only cool looking one in the lineup and it has bad build quality and reliability from what I read.

I'm partial to the LG VX8600. Thats probably the next phone I'll be using if I decide to stick with Verizon...not too sure about the finish of it though. Seems to be a little too shiny and susceptible to wear and tear.

LG VX8600, LG Chocolate (I like the White and Cherry flavors... stand out nicely when everyone has a black phone) and KRZR all have nice designs. The Samsung SCH-a870 and a930 are nice too.

I haven't had any issues with my RAZR V3m, and I keep mine in the "fifth pocket" on my jeans without a problem. Of course so many people have a RAZR that they may not be cool any more.

I've been happy with my V3M for the most part. They're not too expensive any more either.

If you want something smaller, the new KRZRs should fit the bill.

Wow, I'm glad that I'm not the only one having problems getting my E815 to charge. After hearing about how great the E815 was from my fellow ATOT members, I thought that I just got a dud.

I currently have a LG VX8100 and love it to death! I find it to be small enough for my needs and it's very reliable and I have never had any issues with it. If I were to get a new phone today, it'd probably be the VX8300.
