Verizon wireless customers
My contract is up and I'm due for an upgrade. I was thinking about getting either the droid, blackberry curve, G'zOne Rock, Or the Samsung Convoy. My motorola Adventure V750 is horrible. I definitely don't want to make the same mistake twice. 
What do you guys have for phones? likes dislikes? |

I know a few with the Droid and they love it. If you have interest in the iPhone, the Droid is a good comparable that's provided by VZW

I've heard nothing but good reviews on the droid. I don't know if i'm getting a little carried away with going for a phone like that or sticking to a phone that i'm used to for calling and texting.

The drone is great but the big question is: will you utilize the extra features that come with it?
After you buy the phone, you have to also get the data package - about $30/month - and that's on top of whatever minute/text plan you have. |

i have never liked the idea that verizon sends you a paper bill in the mail ....sends you an email bill via the internet and then has the Audacity to ALSO send you a text message too that costs you 15 cents to receive it.... (that to me is a RIP) and it wouldn't matter if it was just a penny... it's the principle.
the price for a cellphone is still astronomical ....they make them so slippery out of the smoothest plastic .....and that is a pain...
i'd rather they were covered in rubber and were 100% water resistant. The 2 year contract i think is a JOKE when the technology changes in 6 months. Where i presently live you get dropped Allot and that is maddening .....drives me nuts.
when the friggan cell phone rings my dog comes unglued.  |

Raven,
You need to update your settings: I don't get a paper bill only electronic (e-mail/txt notification that it has been billed to my cc). I get text/calls from Verizon at NO charge: $ or min (no I do not have txt messaging in my plan). BTW: standard txt charges are now $0.20! |

I had Verizon and would get the text message reminders from them. I don't think texts from Verizon to their customers are charged for. |

I just Moto Droid'd. I had to pay the $30 extra for unlimited data download. Around home I find hooking up to my wireless the most efficient for web browsing. Lots of built in features and my clumsy fingers like either the electronic or slideout key boards.

gotta say so far the thing is amazing, I like the fact that I can take it fishing with me and not worry if it gets wet or not. |

I have verizon through work and we are waiting on the iPhone thing to happen before we make our next purchases. I think the iPhone is really nice.
