Thought I'd turn to this forum b/c it's a great resource. I'm looking to replace my cell phone in the next couple of months. There are so many different cell phones nowdays, and it's really confusing to wade through them. I know what capabilities I want/don't want, but that still leaves a ton of choices. Can you recommend a good site that has cell phone reviews?

Thanks, I'll check out those sites,
I guess I might as well as anyone here if they have any recommendations. I'm looking for a Verizon compatible, non-camera, non-pda phone, with an emphasis on size (current phone is too bulky). Not too concerned with price.

howards mentioned above is great, and your service provider may have a forum too, AT&T does and it's a very good resource on not only the phones, but how the carrier implemented (or didn't) the features.

I second this, Howards is very useful to me. Also look at www.phonescoop.com (http://www.phonescoop.com) for descriptions and user reviews of phones. As to your specific question, take a look at the LG Vx3100. My wife got one a few weeks ago. It is small, good performance, sound and battery life. No cameras or other bells and whistles.

Is that the VX3100 or VX3100L? Just thought I'd check b/c I see both phones on the site.

Is there a site for Verizon users like there is for Sprint users? The Sprint site is www.sprintusers.com (http://www.sprintusers.com.) mentioned above.

I think the only diffference is that the Vx3100 is silver/metallic finish and the L is black leather covering. Guts are the same I think, just a style preference. My wife has the metallic one (Vx3100)
