Best no BS tri-mode phone?
Been shopping for a new Verizon phone since my NE2 upgrade cycle just kicked in, and my LG4400 is looking a bit weary. It was never a good performer anyway, very poor in fringe digital areas and next to useless on analog.
Since I always use a headset the availability of Bluetooth was appealing, so I tried a Motorola V710 with their HS850 headset for a few days.

Don't waste your time, or money on the V65P just because it's a tri-mode. VZW is doing away with analog within a yr, so it really doesn't matter.
