It's been two years since I got the last Ziggy, so the New Every Two plan is kicking in.
Time for a new phone.
Now, it's not going to be a freebie new phone, since those tend to be cheap and bereft of the functions I want.
I want a keyboard for texting.
I want a decent-sized screen.
I want the ability to check email. And maybe web-browsing now and then.
But that's pretty much it. I don't need music, games, camera, or any other garbage on it.
My iPod does nicely for that stuff, thank you.
The basic Palm Centro looked ok. The ENV is a bit overkill, but it would work. (The Voyager is serious overkill.)
We'll see what Verizon has.
And, perhaps, a new Ziggy will rise.

I would be *very* interested in hearing what you end up getting, as I am in a similar situation and I am looking for the same functionality.

Get a camera on your phone. You'll be surprised at how useful it can be. What if you are a witness to something - you've got a camera; what if you are shopping and aren't sure that your SO will like something you pick out - you've got a camera. What if you're driving out in the country and you see a bush that you really like with gorgeous flowers and you decide you want to plant one, too, but have no idea what it is. You've got your phone with you, it has a camera, and now you can take a picture and then drive to a nursery and show the picture to buy the perfect bush... Lots and lots of uses. I didn't think I needed a camera on my phone, either, until I got it. Now? Use it ALL the time! [Mostly to photo the little twerps that throw trash on my yard and harass my Kids. I also use it to document who isn't scooping poop when they walk their dogs in the morning. "Citizen poop patrol."]
