Verizon change their plan .....the took phones they already had and made a 3g network adding a 9.99 a month cost for the same phones you could of had a month ago. This is a way for them to add more cost onto your billing. Watch out for this. They say that it gives you so much time online with these phone. I like these phone and if i chose to go online then i will pay the difference. Go with other carries who offer better looking phones and deals for people who just like texting and calling.

Chris thanks for the link! My husband stopped smoking traditional cigarettes after 25 years in just one day using electronic cigarettes. There's no carbon monoxide, tar, smoke, ash or any of the 4000 harmful toxins found in tobacco cigarettes. They come in different strengths of nicotine so he can wean himself down. They also come without nicotine at all. There’s no second hand smoke, only a harmless water vapor that mimics smoke and they cost 75% less than real cigarettes. . Here are a couple of good places where we bought ours: eCigBiz.com & Smoke-Tip.com - The prices vary greatly. Both offer a money back guarantee and one with a lifetime warranty. Hope this helps! :)

The Verizon LG ENV3 and ENVTouch should be on this list! The ENVTouch is a flip keyboard with a touch screen and the ENV3 is just a full keyboard! These phones rock and are fantastic, the best phones I have ever seen!

Wish I had your problemms. Your greenback is getting weaker every day a little notch and your $129 - $999 cell phones or your 400HP SUVs won't make it any stronger! It's obvious that 15 or more different platinum credit cards in your billfolds won't do the trick either! Think where all the best cell phones makers' HQs are located or try to guess where most of your oil comes from? Scratched your heads yet? Not yet? Well, you can start right now, while there's still some time!

What's with all the fancy add-ons? Does anyone, anywhere make a cell phone that is just a phone anymore?

Has the reviewer ever tried to use the Palm Pixi??? The keyboard letters are ridiculously small. Irritating to use.
replyAlso, any high-tech phone that has to be used on the AT&T network is a waste of time. As a previous AT&T subscriber, I can tell you that coverage is spotty with lots of dropped and missed calls and text messages. If you depend on your cellphone for business purposes, avoid AT&T like the plague!

Isn't there any touch screen phone available with a bigger number keypad for the "senior's" who love their music, e-mail, facebook, twitter, GPS, web-brousing and just plain ole dialing with keys that are big or close to big as on a regular keyboard?

Motorola Cliq is the best phone I have ever owned (and I have had like 30) Its amazing and I will never buy another. I was hesitant at first because it had just came out and i was thinking of a blackberry but the guy at T Mobile talked me into it. I liked it so much I payed out of pocket for it before my contract was up (not cute BTW)...but I LOVE LOVE this phone!!!!
