E-815
This phone no longer available at retail store by my house. I was told they wont be getting anymore in.

yeah it's a great phone. But has already outlasted every other phone on the market.
There is talks of another with a usb charging port as well, don't know how much truth there is to that.

I have heard the same thing. The charging port on the E-815, like so many Motorolas before it, was designed very poorly, and has been the scourge of many users. I think a number of them yanked on the cord without pressing down the release button, thus loosening the housing and making it near impossible to charge the battery, but the new design, the mini USB port, seems to be a great improvement. The relaunch of the E-815, from what little I've heard, could come before the end of the year. We're down to just a couple of pieces in our Alltel store in the Shenandoah Valley, and when it's gone, it's gone.

good thing i bought a new spare on ebay for 100.00
i'd like to see a revised 815 rather than the razr

I carried my e815 for 6 months and had no problem with it. Reception paralleled the old 3587i's and life was grand.
Then suddenly our store got more and more and more people coming in with problems with their e815s.
Anything you could possibly think of -
from the charging port, to overheating, to screen going out, or even just plain dying.
Every replacement Motorola sent us was crap, sometimes you had to go through 2 or 3 to find one that worked.
Except for the charging port this was a fantastic design.
However, it is so sad they had to completely discontinue the phone because it had SO MANY problems.
I advise anyone to NOT BUY this phone. They discontinued this one for a REASON. If your first one works consider yourself luc...

I respectfully disagree with you. I think that once the E815 is reissued, all of the problems connected with the original design will be gone, including the garbage charging port. At the very least, I would ask that you give the new E815 a fair shot. It takes a lot more punishment than the RAZR, the KRZR, and the SLVR, and probably the RIZR, too.
I work in an Alltel company store, and the one issue that I discovered last week was that it wasn't quite as sensitive at picking up a signal as a Nokia 6255i. I think even that issue will be addressed with the redesign...at least, I hope so. I'm willing to give it a shot.

do you really believe what you are saying????
the 815 has been the longest running phone in the alltel lineup because it has been the best one ever for sound and signal.
there have been many more phones with many more problems than the 815. no phone is perfect
replacements, if they were refurbs are another story. never trust a refurb no matter what brand.

as far as the 815 being remodeled by the end of the year, its unlikely due to the chip lawsuit, unless its already in the usa

Absolutely I believe what I'm saying. I work at one of the two highest volume stores in the company.
We have a store three times the size of standard corporate store.
I will admit, the reception on the phone is incredible, but do you want all the issues to go with it?
As for it being the longest running phone, that is completely untrue. It ran from May 06 - July 07 - just barely over a year.
And as far as replacements - I agree, you can never trust them - but the countless times we replaced with the in-house OTC and before I could even get the phone book on it I would notice the speaker wouldn't work, or it got hot once I put the battery in it, etc
I understand people get very attached to phones, but I just kept seeing over and ov...

So what exactly would you recommend instead? I, too, work for Alltel. I think the connector for the LG's are garbage, even though the phones might be pretty decent. I think Samsung makes an adequate product. Kyocera, as far as I'm concerned, having purchased the handset business from Qualcomm, has run it into the ground. Only a fraction of our clientele is really interested in a Smart Phone. What does that leave you to recommend? Man, I wish Nokia still made their own CDMA phones, but if you find a new model for our digital technology, it's a Pantech. Need I say more?
Bottom line...there is no perfect handset out there, nor will there be. Every single phone is going to have pluses and minuses. I'm not a fan of the V3a, but I use...
