Verizon just offered me a Casio Exilim 5.1MP camera phone for free and I took it - Grateful11 - 10-01-2010

I was calling because we were within 12 minutes of going over our minutes and she said the primary line
holder could get a new phone every year, I didn't know that. She said they offering this phone that retails
for $450 for free, no rebate until they were gone. I was telling her I was crazy about a keyboard phone
like a I have now and she said her husband had one and really liked it. It's also got a 3x Optical Zoom. It
also meets Military Specifications for durability. I never use a Data plan so hopefully this will fit me better
than my LG Env3.

BTW: For $16/month we bumped from 700 to 1400 minutes/month and got the 10 Friends and Family.

$16 a month?
I pay $45 a month for 450 minutes and 200 texts. How do I get that rate?

I think he means an additional $16 per month.

What didn't you like about the Env3?

It should have been $20/month but I get a Corp. Discount and yes that's on top of what I'm already
paying. All this remodeling has added up the minutes on our phones, we usually don't even use 200
minutes a month between 4 of us.

The Env3 isn't a terrible phone I just never warmed up even after a year and a half. All 4 of us have
the Env3 and 2 of turn themselves off way too much and my wife's phones hinges are about worn out.
I text quite a bit and there's more steps to go through to text there should be with the Env3.

Thanks for the review. I have a MotoQ, which is an older, much older phone, that I use with Page Plus (runs on the Verizon network), and I am always on the lookout for a possibly better phone. I do some texting and need a QWERTY keyboard, so I thought the Env3 might be a good one, but more steps to text kills the deal on that. I guess I will be staying with the Q.
