Best costco phone?

If you're getting dropped calls, maybe you need to consider a different
Cellular company that has better coverage where you need to use your phone.

I need a good phone for work. It doesn't have to be too flashy, just to
work and work reliably. I'm tired of getting dropped signals and having
to fight with the phone. I need a good charge (longer than a day) and I
have about $100 to work with. This is a company phone and that's my
spending limit. I've asked reps at the store and they seem to go for
the A500, but it's SO small, it just feels cheap to me. Maybe it's not.
I've read about the $50 off coupon good til Sunday. But which is the
best phone of the current four Costco is offering? And why don't they
have the 4900 anymore? I've heard that's probably the most reliable out
there at the moment.

And if I were to go outside Costco to buy, which model do you feel has
the best performance and is the most reliable without necessarily the
bells and whistles. Oh yeah, and under $100. Thanks for your help.

I should also mention that I'm currently using a decrepit old 8500.
Pretty much anything would be better but it seemed a stable enough phone
when I got it about a year ago...

With Costco's return policy you're covered no matter what you choose.

I was just working with a guy who has the 8500 and he still loves it. No
signal problems in Minneapolis. Either you have a particularily bad phone
or you live/work in an area where coverage is bad. If the latter, then
buying a new phone may be a waste of money for you. But, if you do, I would
definitely consider the A500 (w/leather case). That is the phone I use and
I have been quite happy with it (there was a bout with a nasty version of
software in the phone, VI16, but current is WD29 which is great).
