Keep motorola v400 (cingular) or MUCh better one out there?

Hello,
I have had my Motorola v400 for 2 years now. Here is what I love about it:
1. I can put custom ring tones on it
2. Camera with ample storage
3. bejeweled
4. I can check my hotmail e-mil with it

this is what I hate:
1. HORRIBLE volume, I always have trouble hearing
2. HORRIBLE battery life. Even with a new battery it lasts only 1.5 days (even w/o any talking)

I went to the local cingular store, and from what I saw, the phones they offered weren't much better than mine in features. I mean, a slightly better camera doesn't warrant spending $200.

So, are there any new phones out three that have a vast improvement? I don't care about size that much because I have a purse:P I love to text and wish I could surf the internet. However, $200 really is my limit because I'm in school.

So, should I just keep my moto until it dies, or get a new phone (if so, recs?)? Is it worth it?

thanks,
Jess

You could get the new verison of that v557 for less then 200 or get an older one the moto a630

the 2 things you hate: the earpiece volume can be set to be louder and the battery life is average for phones today. my w900i sometimes will barely make it through one day without recharging.

i say the v557 would be ideal if your used to the motorola interface and like it.
