I have N73 and Verry happy, but i need a small "weekend" phone i can put in my pants pocket w/o holster or case. I had RAZR but it had a bad receiption. i don't care about any other features but good RF for this "backup" phone. I just need to swap SIM and go.

thanks for your suggestions.

I just sold 6131 due to it's battery life. and got N73. I'm looking for something slim like RAZR, i heard Samasung has one, not sure where to start search. Thanks

SE T616 is pretty good (Cingular former AT&T),
just got one of these for my wife ($38 inc. shipping on eBay).

Thanks, T616 is exectly the same size as my N73, so no point to swap them to save spase in my pocket. any other models under $100 out there? I'm leaning to get Moto L6 as slim and cheap. the second choice would be RAZR V3.
Would you suggest anything else?

Check the second hand stores in your area. I found a SE T226 (Cingular branded) in one near me for $6.00, with charger. I had hoped to unlock it and use it on T-mobile, but have since decided it's not worth it. So, it's going to be mailed to the recycle place.

I don't mind, as it supported our local Humane Society. They had lots of (mostly cdma) phones that had been "donated" to (read - dumped on) them by folks who had upgraded to newer phones. But, they did have a few (mostly Cingular) GSM phones, too.

L2/L6/L7, or the Vk 2000. Not bad options, all are relatively pocket sized. Nokia 6030 ain't that bad either.

The RAZR had poor reception? I thought it had some the best reception abilities of phone today. You might be hard pressed to find something better.

No offends please but Nokia 6131 had better RF, LG CU500 better as well, no comparizon to N73 at all. CU500 is just F***ked up with FW bugs, but i would def kept it otherwise.

the CU500 is a good phone, if it werent for those bugs
