Are you looking to get another "plan" or a "pay as u go"?
I love my solo 3100 "pay as I go".
Well, to be truthfull, i barely us it. I keep it fr emergencies and I like using the 10-4 feature from time to time.
The lg chocolat is a full featured phone. My buddy has one and can not part without it.
I find that the RAZR feels kinda fragile 9I'm it's not) but its just it felt when I tried one.
Its a personal choice realy, and it mostly depends on the options you wanna have... and be ready to pay for them :)

I have the cheapest POS Nokia for the PAYG offerings, got it free as a replacement for my Nokia 2190 brick that was no longer usable when they cut off the old analog/digital feeds a couple of months ago.
The navigation sucks, it's too easy to go to the Internet when clearing extra numbers from the display (when entering phone extensions or PAYG codes) when you're done a call and the call volume (hearing someone talking) SUCKS. :angry:
This is why I abhor cellphones - they're so damn frustrating. :angry:

i bought my girlfriend the chocolate. it looks awesome, but i would have bought a different phone for her after i discovered some inconveniences. internal memory is very small and i could only fit about 18 songs on it and they take very long to transfer via the computer. this is the only issue i have with this phone.

I agree, have it, it works good.... Front display has a glass cover though...... broke that 2 weeks in lol
The 2MP camera really wont be any better then the 1.3. Still looks like a pic off a cell phone.
AND as a plug the moto phones come with a very user friendly OS on the phone. They havnt changed it in like 6 years and lots of other brands has copied it.

The balckberry pearl would be a good choice if you do a lot of text messaging, listening to MP3's, e-mailing, web surfing, and it has a camera in it. they are really easy to use and you can get them in red or black now.

Your question of what to get depends entirely on the answer to another question; what do you plan on using it for?
My example;
I need/want to be in touch 24/7 across multiple email addresses. Therefore, I get a Pearl.
Frost's sister's example;
She has kids, and needs to stay in touch with them. Therefore, anything will suffice.
A few generalities though;
Motorola's interface is one of the worst, but their industrial design is pretty elegant of late. Samsung has killer interfaces, but the industrial design isn't as great.

DON'T get the Chocolate, Rogers just discontinued it after all the problems they've had with flex cables going, but Telus still considers it their Flagship phone which made me laugh. Bell got different colours chocolates. But if you are going to get the chocolate, I suggest you buy the White Chocolate, The flex cables were Re-called and re-designed so the screens dont have any more problems but this is only if you buy a white one. I highly and i mean HIGHLY recommend the Motorola KRZR K1. I am certified by Motorola for that phone, and know EVERYTHING about it. The phone is ROCK SOLID compared to the original V3 Razr. The only thing you may need is a software upgrade on your KRZR if you have any issues with it. Another solid phone is the Nokia 6300, by far its classy, but if battery life is a concern to you, then go for the nokia E62, i was selling one on here too for a while, its a black berry packaged into a nokia symbian phone, has great battery/signal, and its a business class phone.
Stay away from LG, Siemens. The SonyEricsson Z550 is also a good reliable entry level handset, so is the W810i, the K510, but stay away from the W300i (black/white) and the W/Z710i.

motorola is moving to Java Linux OS. Which means an improved and highly customizable interface. I was one of the few lucky ones to Beta Test the New Motorola RAZR 2 V8 and V9 phones, which Rogers may end up picking up. Sweet interface. I like Samsungs a lot too, but their interface needs a big overall.

Brown's a rather questionable colour too ;)
I've never been impressed by their design either...
I didn't know we (Rogers) discontinued the LG... guess we did though.

I'd like to see where they get their new orders from. Stock is depleted at the AMG Warehouse and will not be renewed.. So unless This was an Authorized Dealer instead, and have a stock pile somewhere else, then thats why.
The chocolate Flip was not released onto GSM, therefor, you will NEVER see it on Rogers/Fido/AT&T/Tmobile

I think that when I get a new handset, I'm going to get a blackberry...my gf has one, and my previous gf had one...very user friendly, very reliable, and built tougher than standard phones.
The super high techie stuff doesn't mean squat in rural areas like where I live...
