Try the LG 3200 or 4500. Hell the Nokia 3589i is as ugly as hell but they work really good and most Radio Shacks that sell Verizon give them for free.
I don't know if it's tri mode but the LG6100 is very nice and is 8o bucks after a 50 dollar mail in rebate.
Hey, does Verizon wave the "activation fee" for customers who are coming from a different provider?
No. It's 15 bucks for a two year contract. 35 bucks on a one year contract.
Now that effects your upgrade time (the time you are required to have the phone.)
On a one year contract you get the Upgrade/new customer price on the phone in ten months, on a two year it's twenty-two months.
That's important because if your phone is stolen three months into your two year contract and have to buy a new phone, a new phone would cost you much more than you first pay for it.
Like two hundred bucks more.
Also on a one year contract prepare to pay more for the phone.
Most carriers including Verizon have insurance you can buy on your phone. It's five dollars a month if you choose to get it and a fifty dollar deductable to replace a lost or stolen phone.
If you don't want to pay the extra five bucks just don't lose the phone.
Also most stores offer an extended warrenty where I work we sell a fifty dollar two year warrenty that covers the antenna and replaces the battery at the end of each year. Also two years parts, labor, blah blah blah.
The out of the box manufacturers warranty is only one year and does not cover the antenna, or the battery.
I have never lost or broken my phone. knock on wood. Balloonknot I think lost two within a year. I know at least one. The other he may have lost and found again which he did often.
