Had to dumb my trusty E815 for the very same reason (others have commented
they did also), so I went for the new Razr2 V9m. Same good reception and
call quality even on speaker phone. A little expensive, but worth checking
out. A little on the large size (but the external and internal screens are
equally large), it's very slim and has brick-solid construction.
