The Motorola 710 is still available online or may still be available
in some stores. Having a phone with analog capabilities might be
needed in some places in the western states. As it has been generally
discontinued the sale price is excellent. Online it includes the
bluetooth headset.
Another possibility for you is the Motorola V276. It has analog as
well. Both phones have good reputations especially for reception. They
both have excellent speakerphones which I find useful.
As another poster mentioned, the Motorola 815 is a good phone as well
but does not have analog.
