What cell phone in canada is right for my friend?

I'm with Telus, I have a chocolate flip ( http://www.telusmobility.com/nb/payandtalk/kit_lg_8600.shtml ) its a great phone, however don't get the slide one, the flip is 1000x better...My aunt has this phone ( http://www.telusmobility.com/nb/payandtalk/kit_samsung_a720.shtml ) it's a great phone too.My mom has this phone with rogers, its not really good... ( http://www.telusmobility.com/nb/payandtalk/kit_motorola_w385.shtml )This phone is okay too, if she doesn't want to spend that much, its worth the 50, but its not great. ;phttp://www.telusmobility.com/nb/payandtalk/kit_lg_200.shtmlHowever, there is one tiny problem with Telus, if you're in the USA you wont recieve your texts until your back in Canada, or if you do, it wont let you reply until you're back in Canada, the same thing happened to my mom, friend and I
