Question
I currently have a nokia 2555i and I am going to upgrade. I use my cell phone for mainly calling with some limited texting. Would prefer a flip but will look at others. I am in Canada amd the supplier is Bell. Looking at the following and would like your rating on these:

Nokia 6350 and 2730
LG Wine and LG Bliss
Samsung Impact, M320 & M530

Answer
I think that it is a matter of personal preference. I like Nokia better than LG or Samsung. My only issue here is that if you get a CDMA device that Bell doesn't sell, it would need to be unlocked and flashed. WOuldn't it be better to just get a phone from them? If these are all phones that they sell and you are going to get one from Bell, then I would probably go with one of the Nokia's if you like what you have today since you are familiar with them and they are pretty long lasting devices. The 2730 would be closest to what you have today, but the 6350 is good also. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
