hey.. my 2 cent if it isn't too late...

right now, i'd probably get the v325i. no it's not fancy. it doesn't have the greatest camera. it's probably not great for text msging. it doesn't sing. it's not whiz bang.

BUT.. since i just use my phones pretty much as a phone and though i've LOVE to have PDA-like functionality on my phone...

what I really want on my phones are analog capability. all those fancy features come on digital but to me.. all that ain't nothing if i'm stuck out on highway 5 or 395 in the back beyond and i can't call roadside service... or someone.

the v325i is verizon's only trimode phone that i can see or that i'm aware of. i currently have the lg6100 and it was the only trimode when i got it. it's also gotten pretty good reviews on phonescoop.com

so... it all depends on what you want to use your phone for. i guess i'm kinda a purist.. (or boring).
