What's a good, sturdy Cingular Phone?

hey everyone. my mom and my step dad both have verizon and their contract isn't up till march. my step-dad's phone just died and the cheapest verizon phone without renewing the contract is $179 and the early termination is $150 or something like that. They both want to get over to cingular as soon as possible so we were thinking to just pay the fee and switch. I tried looking on eBay for a cheap verizon phone but couldn't find anything that cheap.

My step-dad is a contractor/carpender so he needs a pretty sturdy phone. Does anyone know what Cingular phone is the most sturdy but still a reasonable price?

We need to get this cleared up pretty quickly so if you have any suggestions please share them with me.

Thanks,
Superman!

edit: Oh, i forgot to mention. He would rather have a flip phone although i know in general they arent as sturdy. He wants one that's small enough to fit comfortably in his pocket

se t616 has been good for me for a while now

my step mom ended up getting the LG C2000 and my step-dad got the Sony Ericsson Z500a because it doesn't have an antenna.

If you want a durable phone, you might look at one without an external display, I cracked the external display to my Z500A when I smashed a video game controller into my phone.
