Verizon Phones

[acelefty]

Well, I became another victim of the Motorola V60i detachable antenna syndrome and this is me --> :bang: In any case, I called AT&T and they can not help me with this problem because it is physical damage. So I ask about getting a new phone and they say that if I want a new phone I have to pay full price for it and they don't even carry the smaller Nokia anymore.
So I think that I am going to switch over to Verizon (I still have a little time left on my contract so I will switch the wife over now and then switch myself over later). But it looks like they don't carry the smaller Nokias anymore either, sigh...
I was wondering if anyone here knows if it is possible to get older phones from Verizon (I would like something similar to the Nokia 8260 - great phone until I took it into the ocean in Maui :( ). And, failing that, which phones are good from Verizon? I have never heard of / used phones by the likes of LG (although I believe the phone I had in Tokyo with the camera was an LG), Kyocera, Audiovox and Samsung. I guess that I should add that I like phones which are loud, have an intuitive menu system and hidden antennas.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
TIA

Verizon has tons of new phones coming out this year. Lots of color LCD ones too. The VX4400 and the Audiovox 9500 are very nice phones. If you are looking for a simple menu interface then the Kyocera 2235 might be the right choice. I have an old LGVX1 and a Audiovox Thera if you are interested... well the Thera is brand new in the box. Both of those phones are 1XRTT compatable. 1X is coming to SAC in a few months :bounce: . The VX1 is a sleek lookin phone (clam shell). I can't think of any phones that Verizon has with a hidden antenna, however. I do know that the VX1 antenna can be easily replaced if it ever breaks. Same with the 2235 and the Thera. Let me know if you are interested.

Dude, I just bought my Nokia from ATT like a month ago...I didn’t even consider Verizon because the phone selection in the past has been so bad...they had one Nokia, and I think it was from 1983...lol...Some of their higher end phones look ok, but I did not want an antenna at all since its just one more thing to break, and I didn’t need to spend big money on a lot of features I will never use...plus ATT was having a really good plan at the time…

Thanks for the heads up D()M. I saw that Verizon had a pretty decent deal going on the 9500 which looks kewl with the color screen and all. Unfortunately, I called AT&T up and my wife's contract isn't over until June as well. So at this time I guess I won't be getting any new phones, but I'll be sure to talk to you again before we make any purchases.
Have you ever used one of those Theras? It seems like it would be a little weird talking into a PDA... LOL.
JP, the store in the Willows doesn't even have the Jeannette's Nokia in stock anymore... sigh.

D()M - Just spoke with Mod and I'll take the Thera... Think I will use it as a PDA for know and then hook it up later and see how it works. If you are going to the LAN on the 15th, I'll meet up with you there.
Feel free to email me.
