I work for Alltel corporate. I have two lines of service with them, both on RAZR's, one business line and one personal line. I had the choice of anything in the store, and the RAZR did it for me. The LG 8600 gets a lot of attention, in the three colors, but the gold is being discontinued by Alltel because of a problem with the paint chipping. The green and blue ones apparently are OK.

No problem with any phone regarding a battery issue so far, but I'll keep on top of it.

If I were to go with an 8600, I probably would have chosen the blue (I really don't care for that shade of green, although the women love it), but now that there is going to be a silver model, I might warm up to that. Still, I really do like the MOTORAZR, and I have one in red for my business line, and silver for my personal phone. I just don't have any problem at all with Motorola product, unlike some people who absolutely hate every single model.

Well I must be considering it because I'm a woman.
Motorola are almost the luck of the draw.My cousin is on her third XBM with a silver razr and I have had to do two XBM for the same customer on a E815.But my boss loves his razr.

The guys aren't terribly interested in it. They are going for other handsets.
