Cell Phone Search - Continued

I got a couple of interesting suggestions on that last post.  The parameters of my search have modified slightly.  I have the following choices before me: 

  • Choose any phone I want, and any plan I want, but I have to pay for both
  • Choose any phone I want from Verizon and get voice only service, completely free to me
I know a lot of folks are passionately averse to Verizon due to their draconian tactics with regard to phone features.  They do have the best coverage though.  Free is definitely a good thing to me.  If I were to go the Verizon route, I think my choice would be between a Samsung Saga and a LG Decoy.  If I were to go outside Verizon, there are lots of interesting options.  Is it worth the cash outlay on my part though?

I think I'm leaning towards the free option.  Any reasons why I should change my mind?  Any suggestions on a particular Verizon phone model?

I've had Verizon for 7 years or so now. Often I've had coverage when my friends don't, although sometimes the txt message delivery is unreliable.

I would encourage you to consider the Nokia 6205. When I replaced my old Nokia with a Samsung U410, I liked the additional camera and such but the voice quality was definitely much worse.

It doesn't usually appear anywhere that I can figure out in the specs, but see if the guys at the store can work out some way for you to hear the phone audio quality.

The only aversion I would have to that phone is that it is a flip phone. I really don't like flip phones. We found my old Nokia 3120, which is a candy bar style phone. I plugged my current SIM card in and it worked just fine, so I might see about putting it on a GoPhone plan and using that. It is an old Cingular phone though, so I'm not sure if it will work on the Verizon network.
