IMO the better phone depends on what u plan to do to it. I know that most Motorola phones (especially the RAZR V3) can be modded so that it is no longer your phone that looks like most others from your company, but rather completely unique (down to the icons, boot animations and sounds, can even change the sound it makes when your batt is low) on the otherhand if you plan to travel to other countries, or change carriers (ones the use GSM Technology[SIM Cards]) you may want a Nokia (most are easier to unlock than Motorola) so if just using for phone/music/pics/vids then go for watever fits your personality, if looking for options to CUSTOMIZE then i would suggest the RAZR V3
