It’s really up to you… which one is the “best” depends on what you are looking into for a phone. Are you planning on using it as just a phone, or do you want something extra like a Music Player, Bluetooth, Mega Pixel Camera, Video Recording, Games, 3G (broadband phone internet speeds), etc…
When I was selling Cell Phones for AT&T, there was always certain questions that I would ask. One of the main ones is what you are looking for in a Phone.
Are you just looking for Motorola Phones or Samsung phones?
AT&T are still selling LG if you like your LG. One that I would recommend is an LG CU500. But there is a few things that you will want to make sure of before you get a phone like this, it works best in our 3G area. If you aren’t in an area that has 3G coverage, the signal strength will not be the best, follow this link and put in your address. When the coverage maps comes up, check the box under the map that says 3G and see if you have 3G in your area.

Here is what the LG CU500 looks like:

If you do decide to use it for a Music Player, you will need to get a Data Cable and an microSD card.
Now I phone that I really think has stood the test of time is the Sony Ericsson W810. I really do like this phone. It has a 2.0 MP camera. It comes with headphones, data cable, and Memory Stick Duo. It also the ability to use FM Radio too. The resolution of the LCD screen is so crisp. When you are playing games, it is just pretty. So right out of the box you can start using everything that the phone has to offer. Now it isn’t a 3G phone, but if you don’t plan on using the phone internet that much, that shouldn’t be a problem.

What I would do is check out some of these phones online, see which one is the most eye appealing too you. After you choose which one that you really like, walk into a store get your hands on it. See if you like how it feels in your hands, how fluid it is for you to text, how easy it is to navigate through the menus, make some calls to see if the earpiece volume is up to your standards, put on the Speakerphone to see if it’s loud enough.
Everything that I explained, there is no question in my mind that the SE w810i is the “best”, but that is just my opinion.
