ive got the voyager, its a nifty phone, but its gotten old to me.  The touchscreen gets alittle annoying because its not very responsive and sometimes when you touch one button it says you have pushed another one which is on the opposite end of the screen, the side where the silver is chips off, turns white which looks much better in my mind.  the full keyboard maked it easier for texting.  But its also like a brick.  id reccomend one of the other phones, in all honesty i dislike the voyager.

^^yea  the lady at the verizon store said that the glyde touch screen is heat sensitive and if your skiing you or your hands are just cold you might need to hold the buttons down for 5 seconds or so

I really love my phone, but it's kind of expensive. The MotoRizr Z6tv i believe, it takes desktop resolution pictures, has an SD card slot, and bluetooth, which is all i really need besides text, but it looks sweet and if you get vcast i'm sure the picture would be swell.

If I really cared about the camera I would just bring along a real camera that takes high quality pictures...

You could do that, but it's always nice to be able to take pictures if the opportunity arises and you don't have a camera with you.

i was going to get a glyde but i ended up getting an env2 and i didnt really like how the outside looks kinda like a calculater but its a really dope phone the keyboard is good for texting and the buttons on the outside work awesome too cuz they are pretty big. its nice and durable ive dropped mine like 1000 times and it still kicks ass never freezes and its just great all around i think

DONT GET THE GLYDE!!!! Bad phone, its front touch screen malfunctions so much, you will click one thing and it will go to another. trust me. as for the voyager, thats the phone to get, i've had experience with both of them. However, maybe they made a new batch of ones that are fixed?

dont get verizon. my dare just broke after 5 weeks. the screen cracked from being in my pocket. plus they dont have cim cards and are a bitch to try and switch back and forth (what I'm dealing with right now)







does anyone have advice on getting a new phone for free. they keep saying its physical damage and not covered. i never dropped it and had a cover on it. do i just have to be a huge dick? anyone know what works best

I go through phones like its my job. I've got the ENV 2 now, and it got stolen a little ago and i just called up and got a new one.  But i have insurance for it. The one before i broke, got sent a new one, and it kept breaking so i ended up with 4 phones in 3 weeks. 

When I call them it normally works to be real nice, make some small talk, but know what you're looking for, and they'll do what they can to help you out.  After they sent me a bunch of the same phone, eventually they just said "it doesnt work for me" so they let me go into the verizon store and pick out whatever i wanted as long as it was "reasonable"
