Nokia 6102 flip vs. Motorola v557

[GT1999]

The only thing the Moto has going for it is better call quality (however, it is known to have more dropped call problems) and Bluetooth. The Nokia offers better reception, less overall reliability issues, its cheaper, and it's speakerphone is better.

v557: $150 w/ 1 yr contract through Cingular
6102: $80 w/ 1 yr contract through Cingular

I'll most likely be picking up the Nokia 6102 today after work.

I currently have a Moto v400 and am thinking about signing up for a whole new contract (w/ new #) since I just moved to a new area. Has anyone done this before?

I had the v557 and loved it until it started acted screwy after 2 weeks. Screen would shut off after 2 seconds of being opened causing all my calls to be dropped. Traded it in on the V3 Razr and I almost hate this phone more, but at least it works.

I got the Nokia 6102 and couldn't be happier.

I guess the v557 has some serious issues with dropping calls/speakerphone eventually dropping (according to the Cingular rep). I then tried out a new Samsung PTT phone, which was about $180 with a 1 yr contract and while it was nice and all, I doubt I'll ever use PTT, it cost $100 more, and the reception wasn't too great.

The reception on the 6102 is great, however, and it's just an overall great phone.

My wife has the Nokia 6101 and its perfect so I would recommend the 6102 too.
