If you like the Nokia stick with it, the UI on the newer phones will be very similar to the unit you have now. The 6133 is a good phone but the battery may last a little less than what you are used to. The big screen will do that.

If you just need a basic bare bones phones I would recommend the 6101. The 6101 rated #1 in reception with Tmobile and Rogers up here in Canada. The 6103 is also very good as it is basically the 6101 with some revised styling and the addition of bluetooth. Battery, reception, durability and reliability have all been strong points for Nokia.

If you dont want Nokia I would recommend Samsung.
Dave, I love my 3595 but as you know it is a dinosaur, I have dropped it more time than I can count, been on many business trips with me, even used it in the rain (Boston) and it keeps on working. 6103 is tri-band Vs 6133 being quad-band, should that be a concern? I don't plan on using it outside the USA. I'm not too worried about battery life because, I only use the phone as a phone (funny in this day and age you even have to say that), most of my calls are short, and I always get a car charger.

Thanks for your input.
