New Verizon Cell Phone?

[Point37]

i'm looking to get a new cell phone with verizon...i have had the lg vx8300 since 2006 and have had no problems with it...best part is the LONG battery life...but it would be nice to have a little better camera and a keyboard along with all the features this phone currently has..my new every 2 discount should make it pretty cheap...i'm not looking to get into a smartphone since i have a computer at work and one at home as well

currently have...
lg vx8300

Stay away from cosmos touch...it malfunctions constantly. Touch screen fails and camera turns on only half of the time. Plus software hasn't been upgraded yet.

LG octane is good but only 2nd generation ones with software upgrade. Had problems with echoing, turning off randomly and video camera malfunctions. Software upgrade fixed all of that.
