Need your expert opinion...which phone to get.
I never play the video games and would rarely use the camera. What do you think is the best available (or soon-to-be-released) phone offered by VZW?
I'm a businessman so sound quality, battery life, and reception are far more important than the cool gadgets that phones come with. If the best phone has these gadgets, fine. I just don't have to have them.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the advice. Do you know much about the Samsung phones (A610 or A670)?
Actually the Samsung A650 has been selling like crazy here. It's a good solid phone, but doesn't have outside caller ID, camera, or speakerphone. But a nice solid phone.
670 is hot too if you don't mind having a camera and paying more for it.
haven't heard much about the 610.
Keep in mind I'll most likely keep it for the full 2 year agreement.
All this info is a huge help to me! Thanks for the response in advance.
Audiovox 8600 has a poor ringer. It has had many software issues in the past. This phone is the #1 source of customer issues I've ever seen. It always comes back. The speaker on this phone is inside the case w/o an external source so that makes the speakerphone part a joke.
The samsung phones are ok... I tend to see alot of battery issues with them such as overheating and overcharging damage. That might just be the manufacturer of this current batch of samsung batteries though. Samsung is gearing towards the "gadgety" phones IMHO. You yourself said you wanted to stay away from phones like that.
ON a New Every Two agreement, your absolute best bet is indeed the LG-VX4500. Excellent speakerphone, ...

I'm in B2B sales for Verizon, and we sell a ton of them. Very few come back for repair. Now, the V60c/i, that was another story. The software was crap & prone to lockups.
Direct and Indirect no longer have them cause of that recall. We had to send back ALL of our v60s to moto.

Umm that is absolutely not true. There was a recall on the V60P phones(push2talk) a long time ago on the antennas. Which were fixed with just a switch out of the antennas manually.
We still have V60Speaker phones and are selling them very regularly and customers aren't coming back with problems.

thank God we got rid of the Motorola phones!!!
Amen brother!
Lets wait though and see if the V710 is also a dud.. o_O
Moto hasn't been good since the startac. The biggest issue is their charging slots. They always break first or wear down. It is a really piss poor design.
The VX6000 has been out awhile, now there's a VX7000. Should I be concerned that the VX6000 is almost 2 years old?
