VX6000 is probably verizon or CDMA service.
The Razr is a sweet phone. it is GSM. Has speakerphone built in, bluetooth, killer color screen, zoom camera etc.
The store I work at (for the oment has been selling them for over a month)
They pull in a pretty penny, anywhere from $850.00 and up with no activation.
If you want verizon/ cdma service, the lg vx6000 is a decent phone. I personally like the samsung models, the higher up ones that verizon has and the new motorola v710. If you want tried and true, not all the bells and whistles, the motorola v60s is a good phone.
If going GSM, I like the motorola products like the razr, even the e398.
If you want a pds phone there are several to choose from in gsm. The motorola A768. its ok not great but not horrible. The new hp ipaq, cool but it is unstable and needs to be rebooted alot. and the Sony Ericsson P910, stable, works great, but the keyboard on the back of the flip is a joke. you can type on it, but it isn;t much faster if any than using the on screen keyboard.
There is the new blackberry too, its ok, but not as easy to type on as the older unit.
If you go t-mobile you can gett he sidekick, cool phone, can do IM, browse the web and all with it, but its bulky.
There are so manyt o choose from, first you need to know that t-mobile, cingular, and at&T are gsm. Sprint is pcs (I think it is also cdma) and verizon is CDMA 1x I believe.
Hands down in Los Anegeles, verizon has the best reception. but you pay more for your minutes. T-mobile is the best value lotsa minutes for less money, but reception is ok. Cingular/at&T is on par with t-mobile maybe a little better or worse depending on your area.
Sprint is ok too, not great not bad, but not as good as verizon.
If I were to put them in a rating for los angeles area, I would say
1. Verizon
2-3. Cingular/AT&T
2-3. T-mobile - close behind cingular/AT&T for reception maybe even better.
3- 4 Sprint - Can;t say spring is horrible or great, I have never used it , but from what I have heard not too many people are happy witht he reception and or service, but many stay because they are on some crazy cheap plan with lotsa time.
Do all the research you can ont he phones.
