best feature qwerty phone?
notanotherxerox

I need a new phone but as much as I'd love a nice phone I have absolutely no use for the stupid required data package and Verizon already charges me way too much for things I don't need. I've been reading reviews for the feature phones but  every phone seems have a lot of cons. Any suggestions for the best qwert feature phones?

 

And does anyone know if there is a way to upgrade to a phone not on the website anymore? I've been reading good reviews about phones like the LG Dare but I don't see it on here. Since I'm due for my new every 2 upgrade I'd rather not have to spend the money to get it from anothe site. Thank you!

If a phone isn't listed on this website, then Verizon no longer sells it new.  A few stores may still have recently discontinued phones in stock, but if its not listed, your chances of finding it from Verizon are very low.

 

You can always buy a phone from eBay or Craigslist used if you want another model.

Hi,

If you want to look at the offering of Verizon Wireless and their feature phones, go to their web site and hover your cursor over the red tab marked Phones and Devices and click on Feature Phones.  After that page loads, adjust the filter for style and click the box next to QWERTY Keyboard.  It will then show you all the feature phones with QWERTY keyboards (some may be virtual on the screen).  You can compare the devices if you want and you can even read some of the reviews posted by other users.  Anyways, I believe that is what you are looking for...feature phones.  Good luck and Happy Holidays.

I, personally, like the Kin Twom. It was once, technically, a smartphone, which was not much to look at, but as a feature phone that does not require a data package, it offers features (like the 8MP camera) that allows it to stand out in the crowd.

Here's a second vote for the Kin Twom. With an 8mp camera, HD video recording, Wi-Fi and Zune player, it is the best feature phone on the market.

I will add another vote for the Kin Twom being the best feature phone in the lineup. As for the Dare... you probably won't find that available as a new phone, but I'm sure people are selling them on ebay and the like. If you do go through a 3rd party have them give you the hex meid from the phone before you buy so that you can call into to VZW to make sure it's clean.
