Help...I need to pick a new Verizon phone

If you like big numbers the Chocolate is good

I was switching from a Moto ROKR after 2 years of bad reception from Cingular (Can you hear me now? Are you still there?). I liked that phone and the address book syncing was good as Apple and Moto cooperated.

I mainly use the phone as a phone; camera is OK. Music, pix and calendars are not important to me but contacts are. My biggest problem is seeing the incoming caller ID. My eyesight means I need several pairs of glasses and if I am driving with long distance glasses can't read the phone. The SCH-u620 and the LG Chocolate both have big incoming number displays, that made them the choices for me. I bought the Chocolate for $79 after rebate vs $149 for the Samsung. I was able to import contacts using BitPim over Bluetooth but it won't sync directly using iSync. One negative, the scroll wheel on the Chocolate is tricky to uise, very easy to jump to the wrong option.

I have the vx8700 and it is great.

I got free wap internet on it by using that site howardforums.

It is really helpful and has lots of information.

Check out that forum.

I have the KRZR on Verizon and really like it. The small form factor is one of the main reasons that I bought it since I hate having the "cell phone bulge" that happens with a lot of phones. Not only that, but it's just plain cool looking. Now keep in mind, I don't use it for music (I have an iPod for that), so I can't really comment on that function. The only problem that I've encountered so far is the interfaces is kind of slow. One of my friends had the KRZR for AT&T and it was much zippier. Otherwise, I get amazing reception but that could be in part to the fact that I have Verizon, and in my area, if you don't have Verizon (and to a lesser extent Sprint) you're probably not going to get reception, which sucks for my buddy who has an iPhone.
