Which Verizon Cell Phone?

My daughter needs a new cell phone, which one should I get?

The following are factors that are consider important:

1) It should be a flip or clam shell phone

2) It should not be a smart phone that requires a data/email plan

3) My daughter does a lot of texting

Her present phone is a LG Chocolate, which is about a year & a half old and has a cracked screen.
The phone did not hold-up well even though the cracked screen was a user error.





Suggestions would be appreciated, thanks

She can text really fast on a standard phone, not sure about the advantage?

My sisters (15 & 18) both went from the LG Chocolate to the LG enV3 and love it. They could both type lightning fast using the "word" entry mode on the Chocolate, but both now prefer the QWERTY keyboard of the enV3, once they "retrained" their thumbs to text using the QWERTY format.

Plus the enV3 has the standard keyboard on the front, so she can text both ways.

I Don't have Verizon..

..But the LG enV Touch looks pretty good. If I had to choose, I would go for a Blackberry (Storm 2, Tour, Curve) or maybe Omnia II.

No wonder people with Verizon are waiting for the iPhone to launch.

I love my E61 it is so fast and smooth.

I drove out to the East End of Long Island and made great time. With all the snow the cops could not hide on the side of the road. The car's ability to go from 55 to 80 makes passing so easy. I got over 24 MPG on the trip.

I know that the 335 & 535 have had fuel pump issue but have not had any issues as of yet.
