Well, the 2 handsets you spoke about are not, IMHO, that great.

The LG product line is very solid, and my initial reaction to the env2 was "blah", but after actually using it, I like it more and more.

You asked for advice, I gave it.

Good luck.

No.. I appreciate your advice. I was just commenting how i felt in order for others to take that into consideration.

I would go more with the Venus than the Rizr...but that's only if you can't wait for say....2 weeks. The Decoy will launch mid-month and it'd be a good substitute for the Venus. The Rizr's are the same as each except: One's global without TV and one's domestic with TV (yay?). Motorola has it's issues on Verizon and is not the best of phones. I do agree with llama that the env2 would be good if you like texting, but if you've already played with it and disliked it, then don't buy it.

Wow.. just Googled the Decoy and found the Dare. That looks like a sweet phone. My contract with Sprint ends July 8th and they say this will launch July 2nd?! If that works out, then I think I'm sold (should it get good reviews)

Well...I was guessing that your port was a bit earlier. Yes, the Dare is slated for July 4th actually and having already used it....WELL worth the wait. The touchscreen is quite nice, the UI is quite nice...and the feel of the phone is nice (not to mention the 3.2MP camera.

You've used it? How'd u pull that off? Any idea of the pricing of the Decoy and the Dare?

Thanks dude!

I'm just that good. Decoy has been reported at $179.99 after rebate. Dare is to be determined...but I would guess no less than $200. HOWEVER, the iPhone 3G is slated for July as well and we all know that Verizon will price the Dare competitively to minimize the losses.

hmm.. that may be a deal breaker. I've never spent that much on a phone before.

(btw, if it'd be easier to chat than post back and forth, i use Yahoo: airic82)

((I know there are gonna be responses to this from trolls everywhere))...When you come to the best...you pay for the best 😎 Again, the Dare has not been officially priced at this time and remains to be seen. I can tell you that it is worth whatever price they put it at and I will own one as soon as physically possible.

I would have to say that the Motorola RIZR that's offered for VZW is actually a top notch phone. It has superb reception and the battery life is superior.

Avoid motorola!!!! Motorola batteries die after about 13 months or sooner.

Not all Moto batteries die after 13 months, I have a Moto Razr that is going on 2 yrs old and still going strong.
I'm in the same boat, I like the Venus and the Motorizr, what to do????????
OKieneck 😁

The updated I phone is a piece of junk. Yes it has a great browser, visual voice mail, and an Ipod, but lets look at the minuses. No media card slot. No user removable battery. Because Apple wants to be the only ones to be able to make money for a new battery. They don't want third party vendors to make knock offs because they would lose money. No MMS, no video capture, and no flash and this is supposed to be a multimedia phone. No voice activated dialing and no cut and paste. And you have to use it on the AT&T network. Which means poor call quality, dropped calls, and a small footprint for 3G since they are behind the times. And when you get millions of people using their network with I phones what do you think will happen to download speed...
