I've had my LG for such a long time it seems like forever (long story, got screwed by the contracts, turns out when you add a phone to your plane even your contract resets and starts on that day) and even though I've been taking the reliability and no lag for granted since I had it, I now look at my friend's phones and I realise how good LGs really are. The phone is completely defaced, I've dropped it immense number of times and except for screws starting to come out had not had any problems at all.
Honestly, I can't see myself getting a motorolla, generally their phones are so unbelievably slow I wouldn't be able to live with one. The only fast motorollas I have seen are the Nextel models, I wonder why they can't make every other moto that fast and reliable. Oh well, LG all the way, although I would never say no to a crackberry.
