I think we can all agree that Verizon does not carry the best looking phones when compared to AT&T or T Mobile. It never bothered me too much since I've been using PDAs since forever. I'm currently using a Samsung SCH-i760 and this thing is like a fat, black brick.

I'm not looking for much anymore. I want to stay away from Windows Mobile though. It's kind of ugly, haha.

I'm basically looking for anything with a QWERTY key pad. I don't favor touch screens but I can grow past that.
I like Blackberries too but I haven't used one in years but I'll consider them too. I'm avoiding the Blackberry Pearl or anything with a similar keyboard.

I haven't looked at the new LG phones because I know the old ones we extremely faulty. How are they now and should I even consider them?

Thanks in advance!

The new blackberry 8530 curve is out for Verizon. maybe take a look inside a verizon store.

I really like the blackberry tour. I have friends who have it and they've said it's the best phone they ever had. LG phones aren't that great, I currently have the LG EnV2, and it's terrible. It shuts off on me randomly. Same thing happened with my other LG phones. Samsung Rogue is the phone I'm looking at right now, but it requires a 10$/month data plan. It's a touch, but it also has a sliding QWERTY keyboard.

Go to the verizon store and see what they have. Do a lot of research before picking. ;]

haha i wish Verizon would carry more pretty phones:p
how about the env3? look on their website and i agree, do a lot of research.
i have the env2. and it sucks ._.

I have a Samsung Rogue and I really like it.
Like others have said, your best bet is going into the
Verizon store and actually playing around with the phones.

[super piggy]

i like the new DROID :].
it will be my next phone! you should check it out.

[sourx3candi]

i just got the env3 and i like it so far.

i also heard the new samsung rouge is pretty good too.

The Samsung Rogue looks legit but it's almost as big as my current phone. I'm aiming towards something more sleek with the only exception being blackberries.

I'll look into the new blackberries and the EnV3. The DROID looks awesome too, does it require a data plan?

The droid requires the blackberry plan - Data plan is extra $9.99
Blackberrys and Droids extra $19.99 *(its either twenty or thirty)

The curse of Verizon Wireless. Good coverage, ugly phones.
I have the blackberry 8330.
Good phone. I honestly thought I would hate it because I didn't want the phone in the first place, but I'm pretty attached to it now.
My dad went from his 8330 and got the Droid. I was playing around with it and *0* gosh it feels so nice. I wasn't a fan of touch screens by the HTC phones are so darn responsive, that I actually like it. I would get the droid, but with the blackberry I have such easy access to my emails that I can't part with it. If BBM wasn't unlimited I would switch to the Droid. You can look at the blackberry Tour, when I was playing around with it, it was pretty nice.
If you don't want to go with a Data Plan then you can consider the Samsung Rouge, or LG EnV3.

"The Droid" means DROID by Motorola.
If you mean the HTC Android phone, it is the DROID Eris.

I have the DROID Eris, and I'm loving it. Even though it only has Android OS 1.5., HTC made its own modifications to the phone. Some people even go so far as to say it's better than the DROID by Motorola.

3 main reasons HTC DROID Eris beats Motorola DROID:

1. The Motorola DROID has a physical keyboard, but many people complain about how the keys are too flat and small to properly use. The keyboard just adds extra weight and size.

2. The touch screen keyboard for DROID Eris is supposedly more responsive. Honestly, Motorola hardware is about as crappy as it gets. HTC, on the other hand, has good quality hardware, thus making its phones' touch screens more responsive.

3. Home screen space usage: the Motorola DROID may have a bigger screen, but it still only fits 4x4 squares like the HTC DROID Eris. Moreover, some of the apps (e.g. the flip clock) don't display correctly on the DROID because of the different screen size.

You said you used a PDA, so I figured you'd probably want a smartphone.
Verizon recently released the Omnia II. I was actually going to wait for the Omnia II to come out on Verizon (there were several rumors saying Omnia II was coming out on Verizon because they already had Omnia I). If I remember correctly, Omnia II has an AMOLED display screen. This means it will have the sharpest, most accurate colors (even better than plasma TVs). I haven't used this phone, but I think it'd be pretty good, too.
