I am picking a cell phone. Am sticking with Verizon. The service is the best. I hope if they (Verizon) buy Qwest they turn Qwest’s “spirit of dis-service” into spirit of service (Like their slogan already says).

I need a different phone. The one I have is great. I don’t really want a different phone. I need a different phone. I am changing my job from worker bee to manager/marketer bee. My current phone, Motorola W385, has served me well. I bought it because it has good reception which is important here in the NW and it is rugged. I need to switch to a sorta mobile office.

Verizon, I will not change that.

So, we have 3 choices (maybe by next month when I can upgrade more?): LG Versa, LG Voyager (aka VX10000), LG Dare, maybe the HTC Touch Pro.

Features that matter most to me:

• QWERTY keyboard
• Easy to use navigation
• Rugged
• I think I want visual voice mail – that way I won’t have to write things down!?

Ok, after a few weeks and finally touching a Versa with keyboard, I have decided on the Versa. The Voyage seems to flimsy – I don’t trust it. Found reports of software issues on the Voyager. The Dare has a bigger screen than the Versa but only the touch screen QWERTY keyboard. I messed with the Blackberry versions, don’t like how small the keyboard is and don’t like the added cost for added features. I don’t think I need all the Blackberry software and it actually seemed to be a confusing mess to me. I don’t want to take a college course to use a stupid phone.

So, the Versa has a large QWERTY keyboard (module). It makes the phone a little thicker, but also protects it. It has the features I am looking to add. Plus, you get 3 screens that you can customize with your icons. That solves (I hope) another annoyance with my current phone – it takes 12 or so clicks before you get to the place to start typing in a message.

click, click, – “B”, click, click, click, “y”, click, click, “e”
