Hey, phone geeks!

So, I'm changing around my cell phone plan to take advantage of a deal, and as a part of it, I get a new phone... So of the cheapie phones, these are my options. Can phone geek people give me some opinions on what they like or don't like about these? Nokia people seem to be fervent believers. And Flippy phone: Good or Evil? I've never had one. The smallness intrigues me, but I feel like moving parts are inherently more breakable.

The contenders:

Nokia 6015i
Samsung SCH-a650
LG VX3200

one suggestion: go find the phones in a store themselves and get a chance to play with them or touch them a bit. When I was looking for a new one, I had a few picked out and when I got to the store to look at them I totally hated how they felt in my hand or how difficult they would be to dial.

Flippy phones are kinda nice though, you never accidently dial (even with the key lock on mine, if you accidently push the buttons right I get a "Dial SOS?" message on my display ALL THE TIME.) I loved my flippy phone that I used to have (it died, but it was old old old.)
