Motorola v3 vrs lg chocolate?

I have the new LG Chocolate in Blue Ice and Love it! The phone itself is delicate but the slide is pretty strong (it's like a magnet). If you are pretty rough with your cell phones then i don't think i would recommend the chocolate however i would recommend NEXTEL (which i dont prefer from experience) but its good if you tend to drop your phone alot. They are tough and durable phones.
