The guys at my local Cingular store here in Dallas really push for Motorola. They say that Motorola will get better reception than SE. Is this true?

I have a SE T616 and really like the menu interface better than Motorla's though. The V400 seems very slow to react when you navigate the menus. Deos anyone know if the V551 is any quicker?

I just want to spend my $200 plus wisely. Thanks.
