New phone VZW

[Swine Flu]

So I've been looking at new phones...

I want a couple of things...

1. NON-PDA...
2. NON-FLIP!!!!
3. MP3 w/ expandable memory
4. decent pics, rediculous HQ isn't required
5. downloadable goodies

I've been looking at a few phones...

1. Chocolate
2. LG VX9900
3. Samsung a930
4. v3 RAZR

what's suggestions / advice / etc?

i know jack **** about phones... lol

i currently have the lg vx5200 and it's a piece of fragile, hot buttocks.
i live in new york city... and i go to school in north east pennsylvania in a semi suburban area.

What is your price range...?

[Melody C]

shouldnt be a difference since it's so far away and i have time to save up... saying around 50--150 should be decent range, WITH the service renewal

Ok so your on verizon, correct?

the razr v3c, samsung a930 and the 9900 are all technically flip phones. the closest to what you want is the chocolate. even though it has ridiclously small, it meets your criteria

well, the razr was a last minute thing that i was convinced by my friend to look into, and the samsung was the only exception that i thought of because i like samsung phones. i basically meant any new suggestions = no flips. sorry about my lack of clarity

the 9900 isn't a typical flip phone, so i was liking that. i've broken two LG flips by holding it on my ear before. i occassionally am talking while running, and that's when they've both broke.

and yes, i'm on verizon.

nokia 6236i and when it comes out the L7c for non flips.

i checked there for the nokia, and it didn't say anything about MP3 / expandable media support... that's a nono, unless they just neglected to mention it on the page.

If the new SLVR is out before Dec. 19th for VZW, then I'll look into that as well, but last I checked there was no announced date for Verizon to get that phone.

the moto e815 meets all of your criteria, except for non-flip, although it is a very sturdy hinge. i have dropped mine many many times and the hinge is still solid as brand new. but the chocolate meets everything you want, has a good camera and has the "wow" factor that comes with that phone. i wouldnt get the v3 razr, wayyy to many people have it nowdays, and it doesnt even have all that many extra features! so, you will probably want to go with chocolate or the 9900
