i have verizon as a carrier and i am happy with them.

i also broke my digital camera and i would like a phone that has a decent camera on it.
that basically brings me down to the flipshot and the dare.

Not a Verizon customer - so I can't help.

Sorry... I'm AT&T and sold on my SE 580i.

But when I saw your title...

I thought it was going to be "New Drug"...I guess I was close.

Rews, I've been doing my hw on verizon phones since my contract runs out next week, and I'm thinking the Dare is a better all-around phone, especially if you want to play music and surf the web and stuff. Go to a verizon store and screw around with it some, I messed around with the one in our store a lot and I really like it. I think it's coming down to that or the Voyager for me.

And if you get it, let me know how you like it.

How gay would it be if we wound up with the same phone again?

wait we have the same phone?

I thought so, do you have this one?

Somebody on this site has it, cause I remember I was looking at getting it and someone told me it was a good one. Maybe it was you.

I'm with Verizon. I have a KRZR and my wife has a RAZR. The battery life on my phone sucks donkey nuts. I had to hack it to turn off the EVDO so my battery would last more than a day. And Verizon loads their own software that pretty much sucks... though I have found ways to get into the phone to load my own ringtones and whatnot, which Verizon normally prohibits with their stupid software.

My wife hasn't complained about the RAZR, but she doesn't mess around with it much. And the RAZR is kinda old, now.

I really liked my RAZR, after Junior hacked it and switched some stuff around. My wife has the KRZR, and

the battery life sucks in a huge way.

The eNV2 that I have now is

If she doesn't use the phone to browse the web you can turn off the EVDO, that's usually what drains the battery the most. When it has a weak or no signal it just constantly searches for a signal.

If you like, I can send you the directions on how to do it. You can turn it back on at any time. It only takes like a minute because you have to power off and back on for it to work.

You'll just have to wait until I get back to my hotel. I left my laptop in my room and I don't remember the steps exactly.

Mine is rated for 9 hours. In "real use", I get a good 4+ on it.
