I was wondering what you guys thought was the best Verizon phone available right now. I currently own the Motorola T720 but am thinking of possibly getting a newer phone. Please leave me some suggestions as to only Verizon phones and some of the pros and cons that you've noticed using the phone. Thanks!

Anything is better than that phone bro. I hated that cell every single day that I had to deal with it. I finally got them to switch me over to a new phone for low price. Got the LG VX 6000. Love it but I think the best one they have now is the Samsung 610. I hate the swivel but having flash for the camera would be nice. I myself am gonna hold out till the summer to see what phones come out. Motorola has some really nice ones that hopefully will make it to Verizon's lineup.

If you can wait till the summer, you'll probably have much better options. Here's a phone that was just approved for Verizon....

No word when it will be out though. Verizon doesn't concern itself too much with putting out the latest and greatest.

heh i wonder why verizon doesn't put more effort into bringing out nicer phones since they have so many customers...

They are more concerned about having a reliable network. Apperantly, new phones take a while to be released as 7they go through extensive testing. Doesn't explain the whole T-720 nonsense.

There's a new phone my friend's roommate just got, an Audiovox CDM8900 and it rocks. It's a camera phone, and I compared the pictures to those my phone (LG VX6000) takes, and the pictures are a lot better. Also the menus and general layout of the phone is great. If I could get that phone at new customer price I would buy it today, but Verizon wants to charge me $300 for it since I'm not a new subscriber :( Hate those rules.

I am a customer care rep in a Verizon Corporate store. I have to say out of all the phones we have the top 4 would be the LG VX6000, Samsung a530, Lg VX 4500, & LG Vx 4400. The 4500 is the newest of the bunch and the voice recognition software rocks! The 6000 is a sold performing camera phone with easy menues and good RF, The Samsung is a sleek compact reliable phone, The 4400 is one of the best selling most popular picks with the easy to use menues minus the camera of the 6000. all in all any of these phones would be a good pic.

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.

    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
