Motorola GSM phone opinions

I am looking to buy a used Cincular GSM phone to replace my nearly worn out
T720. Current offerings that I am considering are the V180, V220, and the
V551. I could care less about camera and bluetooth features, just need a
rugged, reliable phone, as I am a heavy user. Would like to be able to just
move my SIM card over and keep running. Which of the three I have listed
would be the best pick? Thanks,

Have the v551 and the v3. The v3 reception is far better than the v551. I
would recommend the v3. Either one will accept the T720's sim card.

The V180 and V220 are bargain phones with mediocre performance.

The V551 is an excellent high-end phone, with top performance (comparable to
the RAZR V3, notwithstanding the other earlier response to your question, as
well as other phones.)

You've actually said as much yourself, and I've previously explained why your
unfortunate experience doesn't actually say anything about the V551.

Say what? With all due respect, the V180 has always been an entry-level
model.
