Default Suggestions for Verizon cell phone.

Like the title says I'm looking for a new cell phone for Verizon. Any suggestions?

I'm thinking about getting the EnV Touch.

I have the Samsung Omnia and love it. Windows Mobile 6.1, although I now have a rom that has 6.5 which is a lot more touch friendly. 5mp camera, great web browser, wi-fi. All around good phone. Also comes with 8gb of built in memory and can be expanded with up to a 16gb micro sd card. Check it out.

Blackberry's blow. I've returned 5 Storms and 3 Curves just in the past week from system malfunctions, buttons cease working, and other miscellaneous crap.

Don't buy the Storm available now. They're releasing a second version of it since the first one sucked.

I have the Omnia and love it. It's ten times faster than the Omnia, has upgradable memory so you can make it faster if need be. 5MP camera looks better than any point and shoot I've ever had. Touch screen can be fit to your level of feel, whether it be sensitive or not.

The iPhone is cool, and much easier to use (with what it does) but doesn't offer compatibility with anything else. For instance you can't type something up on your iPhone and transfer it over to word. I wouldn't wait a year.

Don't get a Blackberry please, get something else that uses Windows Mobile and actually works.

My wife's Curve has actually lasted with no problems. I know the Storm's have had problems though. The second gen Storm I believe is out sometime later this year and will have wi-fi and some better stuff. The Omnia is sweet though.

dare blows donkey dick. i hate mine...im on my 3rd Dare, and it still sucks, even with the updated software.

my mom just got the enV touch and its just like a dare, except it has a full physical keyboard as well as a virtual one (touch keyboard).

if i were u, i would look on ebay for some cheap phone to last you until the iPhone comes out.

as to not being able to transfer to word...imo, if you need to type something into word, you need to be using your computer, not your phone to do that. there is a reason for email capabilites. just type it and email it, copy paste.

I just got a storm and have had it for about a week with no issues. Are you trying to shower with them?

All Blackberry's have system errors. To where you'll be on the internet trying to access YouTube and it just says error and kicks you out. I work with this all day long and after like a month of having a Blackberry many people return them (about half).

Plus the Omnia has a better camera, faster processor, more memory (8gb built-in, up to 16gb expansion), and can download more apps because it's Windows Mobile 6.1.

Forget the Crapberry.
