There were a bunch of us who recently used different 2-ways on a snowboarding trip. My GF brought her dad's motorola's and another couple had a pair of cobra's. IMHO, i think the Cobra's were much better. They were clearer, sleeker, and looked more like a cell phone. Their group had a much easier time of communicating then we did. They just got tehirs before the trip at Best Buy for about $60 a pair. They are rechargeable and seemed to hold a charge very well (All day without needing to charge). The motorala's used AA batteries which is good for some reasons bad for others. I like that fact that with AA batteries you can simply keep a backup on you in case yours die. On the other hand, who wants to carry around more batteries.

Sorry I can't let you know what Cobra models the other couples were using, but they look like the newer nextels (Square, boxy, somewhat thin)
