tomorrow im probably going to hit the verizon store after work to buy a new one since my contract is about up.
right now i have the original razr, so im looking for something better and maybe a bit more complex? and no i don't want a blackberry or any of that stuff.
i was thinking about a voyager maybe but im not sure.
anybody have any recommendations that i could maybe look at?

You just sold me. I am getting my upgrade soon. this sounds like just what i need.

Are you into touch screens?  If so, the LG enV Touch is very cool.  It has many of the same features as the enV 3 and more.  The other phone is cheaper and not everyone likes touch screens so that's why I went with it.

I'm going to have to choose this phone for you. It's a really neat phone. I don't personally have one but a friend does. The music sounds pretty good on this phone which many phones lack. The camera takes pretty decent pictures at 3.0 megapixels.

One of the coolest features is the screen adjusts to whatever light you are in. So outside or inside, the picture is great. I know for sure I would benefit from this feature. Maybe you will too.

It flips open and the QWERTY keyboard is there. That's great for texting and Internet.  I'm always typing something, one way or another, so it helps.

Lastly, it has removable memory feature which is always a plus. This phone supports up to 16GB (microSD)

I would get the EnV 3 or EnV touch because they are brand new... as hott as blackberries are, if I would get one I wouldn't get one for verizon because they make you have the damn data plan... yeah...

Which data plan?

The expensive a$$ data plans. Email and Web for Blackberries are $29.99/month and Blackberry Solution Ulimited Data Plan is $44.99 a month

Pretty sure the voyager is in the same category as a blackberry though, if not higher. I'm not terribly familiar with Verizon phones, I can't stand their cell packages. They're almost as overpriced as AT&T but without the benefits, do they even have an unlimited data plan yet?
White Fate Posted at 8:58 am on June 30, 2009
The EnV phones are sturdy and hard to break.

the dare is an awesome phone.

The Versa is a pretty amazing phone also. I have one (got it refurbished, so I dont have the keyboard) and the interface is amazing on it. Better than the Dare, IMO. The picture quality is pretty good, its feature rich (full web browser with tabs, photo editing, paint-like program, ability to add "blog accounts" for easy uploading of photos, etc)
