My step fathers cell phone is on its last leg. He really liked the razors, but they are not made anymore and I don't want to buy a used/refurbished one. Can anyone suggest a decent normal cell phone somewhat like the razor? He's doesn't need anything fancy and prefers a simple phone.

Is he up for an upgrade? Then walk into any phone store and get one of the free phones available.

For a simple, dependable flip phone, I like the Nokia 6085.
I am on my second one since '07.(First one still works, just beat up pretty badly, got a new one free with a new contract)
Good battery life, good signal everywhere, pretty tough, too. Has to be to hold up to what I put them through!
Wife has one of those cheap blue Samsungs (GoPhone with her SIM card in it), she is constantly having to charge her battery, & it seems to be very finicky as far as signal goes.

I had a Samsung Convoy for a year or so, seemed like a pretty sturdy phone with excellent battery life. Not as slim as the Razer, but a pretty solid phone. It doesn't stand up to being submerged in hot springs, though...
