I am in the market for a new phone and I have no idea what to get. I don't want a touch screen and I will mostly be using it for texting and phonecalls.

Here are a few that I have been looking at but I am open to any other options if anybody can think of better options:
Motorola Q
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=3765
W755
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=3785
LG ENV2
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=3725
LG Chocolate 3
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=3886

Thanks for the help

I considered it but I was under the impression that if you get a blackberry you have to get a data plan as well unless I am mistaken

If you're gonna get a phone with a data plan, the storm is looking sexy.

I would love to get a data plan but I wouldn't use it enough and for useful enough things for me to get one

i'm getting hte env2 when my plan expires

i had a sidekick, it broke and i loved it but it was to big...so i picked up a slivr and love the flat phone all the fancy flipping and sliding and going upside down phones are to whack...but i do love the qwerty keyboard

thats why i like the env2 you can use it regular style and you can flip it open to a keyboard, and its not much bigger than my phone...plus you don't need a data plan...cell phone companies are just as bad as oil companies we are getting raped by them, they make so much bank off us.

unless you have been told otherwise, the Q also needs a dataplan. Most if not all smartphones require a data plan.

Yeah you don't need a data plan for the q but I ended up getting the env2 and I'm pretty happy with my decision
