mobile phones

whats the best mobile phones around at the moment?
which make do you prefer?
which features are most important?
which is most reliable?

I'm due for a new phone soon. I have a Motorola e815 right now. It's ok but not my favorite. I'm looking at the Samsung FlipShot™ in Red and the LG VX8700. I'm leaning toward the Samsung but I need to go to the store and play with them both before I decide. I was even thinking about a Samsung SCH-i760. It has built in Wi-Fi so I could surf the net just about anywhere, but it's big and expensive.
Best Mobile Phone - ? I really can't say
Make - I prefer Samsung, had 3 before the Moto and loved them all.
Features - I like gadgets, so the more features the better. Camera, scheduler, lots of number storage, mp3 player (my mp3 player died and would like to get one built into my phone), expandable memory, speakerphone.
Reliable - Like I said before, i haven't had any problems with Samsung, my 815 has been very good, I had a Audiovox phone for about 3 days and then returned it (it was like talking into a tin can on a string).

After going to the Verizon store, I chose the LG VX 8550. The features of the MP3 player won me over. It has been good so far. Call quality and features have been great. Not unhappy with my choice so far.
