LG Wireless Phone

CELLPHONES ( cell phone ) -----Need your OPINION. I'm in my 40's and want to get a decent cell phone, BUT...?

I'm confused! I have VERIZON and like it...I don't want to change providers. The three most importan things I use a cell for are (in this order) 1. Talking (obviously!) Clearity must be excellent 2. Texting (HATE it, but it's becomming a necessary evil!) 3. Camera (NOT a major factor at all, but I'd use it). I want a QWERTY k/b. I like the TOUCH SCREENS but honestly, I'm afraid it will get scratched b/c I'm not great taking proper care of things (as my ex wife will immediately point out after my son read this and tells her!!) .... My 13 y/o son has a LG EN V (the orginal version, I believe and he likes it). I looked around and OTHER than the LG EN-V, I like the SAMSUNG OMNIA. I also saw two others that caught my eye: MOTOROLA KRAVE ZN4 and LG DARE.. May I get your opinions on any of these, especially if you or someone you know owns or owned one? BEST ANSWER WILL BE AWARDED ASAP. Check for updates to replies as well. THANK YOU. PRICE IS an issue for me....I'll sign a new contract, but don't want to spend more than $200 on the phone. Thanks.

1. I'm going to recommend the Samsung phone : I have had 2 previous samsung phones and that's the one I'll probably get in a couple of months when my contract is renewed because it's got the features I want , which are the same as you want just need to find out if it uses mp3 ringtones - important to me so I can create my own
2. just get the blackberry tour from Verizon good qwerty keyboard 3.2 mp camera, 3g and its a good looking professional phone...................... touchscreen phones get messed up easily i wouldn't recommend it samsung omnia is good you should get the omnia 2 :)
3. i have a lg dare it is a pretty good phone. i drop it all the time and it always works. but sometimes the screen is a little slow.
4. Samsung omnia, lg dare, or lg en-v!!! :)
