So I’m finally getting a new phone, and I’m just looking for input on what’s good. I’m staying with Verizon, not looking to get into a blackberry. I do want a full keyboard, preferably not a touch screen keyboard. It seems like that only leaves me with the env2. Any other suggestions or reviews?

My daughter’s eny2 has been replaced 3 times since november for various problems. The key board is ok but the phone seams to be kinda shitty

LG Versa looks cool, I think its pretty much a Dare but it comes with a detachable full keyboard that doubles as a case

the versa seems pretty cool on the verizon website, does anyone have one? how’s texting with the touch-screen? is the detachable keyboard annoying?
