Verizon isn’t known for having the greatest selection of new phones.

Smart phones are nice (I like the Moto Q and Palm 700p), but Verizon overcharges horribly for the data plans, and without one the smartphone is useless.

These days, phones come with all kinds of bells and whistles that are completely unnecessary and a waste of space (cameras, videocameras, data services, crippled mp3 players). I’d prefer a smaller, well-built phone that makes phonecalls well. A phone whose sole purpose is to make calls, imagine that! Bluetooth and user-friendly software wouldn’t hurt either though :)

But, we must take what we are given. As for the current phones, I’d recommend the following from verizon’s current lineup:

-Motorola E815 (I have it, works really well, great screen)
-LG VX5200
-Motorolla Razr v3m
-LG VX 8300 (sucessor to the 8000 and 8100, anything you’d ever need)

Those are my two cents. None appeal all that much to me, but those are my picks.
