Just upgraded my phone from the old startech phone to a new Motorola V 325. I think most phones are basically the same. The features that I was most interested are the ability to switch between analog and digital signals. This phone has 3 ways to get a signal. Analog, digital and satellite. It may seem insignificant unless you spend a lot of time on the road. I also have a camp in the Rangely ME area and the ONLY signal available is analog. Most salesmen do not know anything about the different signals and will tell you that they have digital towers everywhere. You always can tell when a salesman is lying because his or her lips are moving!
Version only has a couple of phones that cover all signals. Look and ask before purchasing one. The V 325 has all the bells and whistles with the exception of Bluetooth capabilities. Runs about 100 bucks with a 50-buck rebate from Motorola. Final cost is about 50 bucks. I got my phone at BJ Verizon and they also threw in the car charger, a case, earphone dodad and programmed it from my old phone saving my telephone book and settings.
