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.
