I've got the little Nokia 3360 or3390? The little one with no antenna.
I love it, I've destroyed more phones than I can to discuss. . . But this ones
held up well! and I get great signal coverage in the middle of nowhere!
My carrier is Rogers AT&T.

In regards to the V.70, that phone is purely flash. Its only single band meaning outside of a city you probably couldnt use it.
The V.60 is a nice flashy phone, but everyone and their brothers parents grandparents and third distant cousins has it. You will get a phone that works almost everywhere though, unless you get the V.60 GSM version from T-Mobile. If I go in the sticks where its only analog service, I cant make a call even to 911.

my views are biased towards city folk. so take that into account =)
here in nyc, i'd have to drive at least an hour to drop to 2 bars of service. maybe another 30minutes from there to find a dead zone. but i'd never need to be in those areas.

Here in Dallas, I use Sprint and service is pretty flawless. My wife is a flight attendant for Southwest and we're able to talk clearly wherever she goes, so I'd have to say Sprint is a good choice.
My phone is the Sanyo SCP-6200 Dual-Band. It's pretty kick-***. Really small and yet easy to operate. It's got a magnesium face so it's pretty robust. I got it off eBay for $100. My wife's is a TouchPoint 1100 flip-phone. I like that one a lot too. It's simple to use. Neither of these have failed us.
