I am looking at getting a new phone from Verizon and need some advice please.
I currently have the Samsung Alias which I love, but I would like a phone that has a better calendar and also a bigger QUERTY keyboard - the Alias one is meant for someone with ultra tiny fingers.....
I looked at Blackberries but you have to pay for internet connection if you get one from them - $25 a month, which I do not want to pay.
The Motorola Q is looking like a good option for me. It is Windows based and has a bigger keyboard and is only $55.
I have the original EnV from LG; I've had it two years now and have never had problems with it. Even after two years, it still holds a charge for several days. They have the new updated version now, the EnV 2.
I don't know much about blackberry-style phones, so if that's what you're looking for, I'm no help
You still need internet with a Q to get your E-mail. It is easily the thinnest lightest smartphone out there right now though. If you wanted to switch to T-mobile though the G1 is my favorite phone out there right now.

Yeah I don't care about getting email on it. I will call Verizon and see if it is required though.... I don't want to switch, I love Verizon coverage and everyone I know has it
If you want to stay on Verizon, get the Blackberry Storm. Those look awesome
Mu hubby just got it and doesn't really love it.... It does look pretty though I don't want a blackberry because I have to pay for the internet plan at $25/month.

These use the same os as the non-touch bb phones, so I have not heard very good things about them. BB just announced a new touch phone with a whole new OS at CES. If anyone was considering the storm I would wait for this new one to come out.
Edit: I wanna say Porvida has an old Q, you should ask him about it. It looked pretty slick to me. My bad, I'm an idiot. I was thinking of the Palm Pre, and that's going to be a sprint phone. I would still hold off on the storms though.

I have the LG Dare and I LOVE it.
I had the chocolate for two years and never really liked it, it was just awkward. I looked at phones for about two months before I picked one out. I was originally going to get a blackberry but didn't want an additional $30 every month for internet I didn't need.
The LG Dare is a touch screen, you can adjust the sensitivity but I never had to. You can have QWERTY text if you just turn it on it's side.
It's really awesome and really easy to use, with the chocolate I still didn't know what I was doing after a few months but with this one I feel like I knew how to do everything in less than an hour.
Also you can buy a $20 memory card and put two gigs of music on your phone, you don't have to buy the music program that you normally have to with phones.
I really suggest going into a verizon store though and playing with all of them, cause I thought I would like one and ended up hating it after I played with it a little while.

Arg I am so torn!!
I went and played with an Envy today and really liked the keyboard, it is like a bigger version of the Alias really. But then again I really like the Motorola Q also...... I think I am down to those 2 at this point.

I broke down and ordered the Motorola Q - I had a huge discount so it only cost me $55 And I don't have to pay for a monthly data plan but i have internet if I need it. I spoke to a few people today who have this phone and love it. I am excited!

My 2 year verizon contract is up Thursday and I have the Alias. I was considering a Storm, but $25 a month for internet is ridiculous so no on that. I am debating on an iphone and carrier switch, but I dont think Iphones are insurable. How much is the cheapest Iphone plan with 450 minutes? I dont want to pay over $100 a month on my phone, but my work gives me a 15% discount on verizon or att. I will probably hold off for a while, but update what you think about your phones. My other beef with verizon is no rollover minutes.
