We have just purchased the LG VX6100 phone. The only thing so far (only had phone for 5 days) is that the speakerphone cannot be used while the phone is closed. You have to flip it open, go to Settings, #7 Voice Commands, (Say the command) then you may close the phone, (if you have the headset plugged in). Too much, but otherwise a nice phone.

Both the Motos got much better reception than the LG. They all had a good speakerphone. The LG's driving mode is a little better and the menues better. The Motos in command mode when you say the name of the person you want to call it asks you which number, mobile, home, office insteadof just dialing the default number
