I had just bought the motorola rizr z3 ( very cute phone, poor reception, very frustrating). I ended up exchanging it for the nokia 5300 and was back to the awesome reception nokia has. It has less features( as per games, backdrops and ringtones...not a biggie, you can always download) and a bit clunkier, but gives a great piece of mind. There doesnt seem to be a nice carrying case customized for the phone...will try the fosmon crystal clear...Music is great and clear. So far so good... no complaints.
