I am a verizon customer. I'm currently using the LG VX8100. It's a great phone, it's lasted 2+ years now. I have a USB cable for it, and I like to make my own ringtones and the ability to download pictures to my computer without having to pay using BitPim. But recently, some of the buttons have started to stick, and I've been due for a "new every two" phone for a while now. Verizon offers a decent amount of free online choices, and I'm lost as to what to pick.
I want simplicity. I text, take pictures, use it as a phone. It'll be my main/only phone so good reception and reliability is a must. Decent battery life. I like the way my phone is a flip phone, but it's not a necessity. The GPS seems like a nice feature, but I've heard Verizon's GPS sucks for driving directions.
I currently have the America's Choice plan with 450 minutes. I don't use them all.
I've heard that if I change it now, it'll be a nationwide plan, but I don't know the difference.
There are lots of free phones, and I suck at making decisions. Please help!
I'm looking at maybe:
LG Venus
LG enV2
Samsung Alias
Motorola W755
Nokia 6205
I like the w755 because the CNET review says it has quality reception and great picture quality. Plus it's a flip phone. The LG phones seem to have mediocre picture quality and aren't flip phones.
I don't want a data plan. Can't afford more than the $40 plan I'm paying now, which ends up being $60 after insurance, text messaging and taxes. So all the free Blackberry options are out.
