I've gone through 5 phones in 9 years & concluded that Nokia is the best for reception, battery life & durability.
I had last year's motorola flip phone for about a week & returned it because it didn't work inside my house.
The nokia can be dropped repeatedly (at least a dozen times & counting) and still work just fine.
As long as you charge the battery properly the first time, it should work for at least 18 months before recharging becomes annoyingly frequent.
When you first get the phone, plug it in (uninterrupted) for 15 hours. Next, use the phone until it is completely dead before plugging it in again (and charging fully). I use my Nokia at least 1000 minutes/month & only charge my phone 2 or 3 times. I've had this thing since last summer when I returned that P.O.S. motorola, it gets great reception (it even works out at mclean creek)(if you're from calgary), battery works great, even my dog has chewed on it and it still works great.
My bragging about my phone has resulted in 3 of my friends getting one & I've heard nothing but good things from them too.
My experience, stay away from motorola & eriksson.
