Alright, so my phone is past its prime... buttons worn out, not working right, ect...
I have verizon, what phones should I be looking at? I have a regular style flip phone now and not sure if I would want touch screen...

voyager has a touch screen and a qwerty button keyboard, its not too bad, ive heard nothing but good things about the dare
I have the Storm and I like it a lot. probably not what you're looking for though, my monthly bill is kinda expensive because of the data plan.

if you dont need anything fancy, check out the samsung gleam...it does what you listed, plus video and mp3. ive thrown it, dropped it, slept on top of it, and it still works great

I have the Samsung Omnia and its awesome!!!!!! It's a smart phone, so I dont know if you're looking to get that fancy, but I have the entire internet, email, GPS, Windows Mobile including MS Word, Excell, and Powerpoint, and a 5 mp camera... Sweetness if you need to carry an office with you.

Got the same phone, thrown mine, dropped it, walked on it, um lots of other things that I was surprised when it still worked afterwords...
Cheap I think mine was 50 bucks, and will prob last me longer than any other phone. :rofl:

You need one with a built in radar detector.

LG Voyager! I have one & I love it. Touch screen, full keyboard inside. And its surprisingly durable. (I ran it over with my camaro and it still works!)

if you want something tough, waterproof, and useful; check out the verizon boulder gz'one by casio. i threw it pretty hard against my wall the other day and it still works fine. i can use it in the shower too or jump in a pool with no concern. i drop it alot at work on the cement floor and its completely fine. has a pretty handy flashlight and a compass built in. i like it alot.

I've got the Voyager and I love it to death. The only thing you have to worry about is pressure cracking the screen. It freezes up once and awhile, but only if you have a lot of crap on it.

I like my storm, but wish there was better software to cut out teh glitches.
Storm 2 is coming out soon, maybe you should wait a bit? Also, iPhone 3GS....tempting enough to switch to ATT for me...

I'm waiting until my contract is up, then switching to ATT for the iphone. Seems totally worth it to me.

I hear a lot of people recommending the LG Voyager. The Voyager 2 just came out a week or two ago. It's called the enV Touch. I plan on getting one this week myself.
If you don't want a touchscreen I'd suggest the LG enV3 that just came out also. It has a full QWERTY keyboard for texting when flipped open.
I've had an LG enV for over 2 years now and have loved it. No problems whatsoever. I have a friend with the enV2 (which I see someone said they had problems with above) and they love it, no problems at all. And my last 3 or 4 phones have been LG (all flawless), so I prefer to stick with them.
The iPhone is nice an all. It's really the ONLY phone that displays the internet correctly (as we see it on our computer screens). But I refuse to switch to AT&T. Verizon is a much better service provider. I don't need internet on my phone anyway. As long as I can take pics and videos, text easily, make phone calls (of course LOL) and sync with my Camaro's Bluetooth I'm completely satisfied.

I am also looking that the LG enV3 (which they do offer with and without a touch screen - just FYI) after loving my enV. I'm on my second enV, but that's only because I accidentally left my first one in my pocket while swimming in the ocean for 45 mins or so.
