Okay, my piece of shit chocolate broke again (5th time) so i had to dig out my old ass phone for now. But i found out i can atleast upgrade since it’s been a year. Even though that sucks as well b/c u have to sign another 2 year agreement (=3) which is bs. But anyways i need to get a new phone and i checked the site and it doesnt look like verizon sells any solid phones lol. any1 have any input, evolve? some1 help me
looking for a samsung pref. hows the alias?
THANK YOU

When you say, “solid”, what do you exactly mean? Reliable? Cool? Assured to get you laid?

RAZR V3 has been trouble free since day 1. I will trade the “look at my phone” thing for not having a fucking lump in my pocket and being comfortable any day

the u740 only has one hinge, that swings both ways. its also really thin, i wouldnt rate it the most solid or super high ability to take abuse.
it depends on what features you want.

it was very reliable on voice/data. i never had an issue with it, listened to music all the time and snet/received ~4k text a month. battery was good too.
im just saying, its probably not as durable as a gzone. it comes down to what you want features wise & durability wise.

Are you talking about you or the phone?
lol sorry. had to.
On a side note, WTF is up with Verizon charging for data usage on all their phones now. I used to love Mobile Web until I found out the new plan they have now charges you $1.99 per MB instead of just using airtime.
Few months and I am going to AT&T
