Alright so here's my problem. I go through phones fast I somehow always manage to break them in some way, I've gone through 3 phones in the past year. Last month I got a Razor V3 for free (my friend had two free upgrades) Excited to finally have a phone where I could read the full screan, silence worked, and had more than 3 hours of battery life, I treated it like a baby I had a plastic case around itself and put it inside a cushioned case which I clipped onto my pocket....Yesterday I opened it up to find the screan broken:angry: Yes I know the razor's screans are known for breaking and yes I do ride with my phone in my pocket, looks like Verizon is giving me a discount on any phone can anybody suggest a strong, reliable...and of course a camera (not a video) phone? It's got to be for verizon though. My insurance was already dropped for the cell so this ones gotta last. Thanks

Check and see if they have any jobsite specific phones. They're not flashy or classy, but they're tough. I don't know if Verizon has them, but I know NexTel has some that are made specifically for construction and delivery workers who need a tougher phone. I ride with a phone, too. I wrap it up in a packable rain jacket that I keep in my water pack. Good luck.
I second the LG. I have the low end flip phone. It came back to life after swimming with it. I thought for sure it was cooked.
word on that one. i have the cheapass LG VX3200 that came free or damn cheap (i dont remember) with my plan. that sucker has been spiked on concrete dropped out of a second story window onto wet grass, had beer spilled on it, anything you can think of, and its still kicking, or at least walking.Bicyclist said:

I washed/dried my Samsung recently. It now has no battery life (dies within 8 hours of full charge), and I can't change any settings. My ringtone is stuck on "My Humps". 
go with anLG. i was a cell tech for 2 years and worked on/repaired cell phones for a living as a certified nokia/moto/lg technician. we saw more moto's than anything else on about a 4:1 ratio. they sell phones solely based on their name these days and not based on quality at all.
you got a case of liquid damage. most cell phones have 3-6 liquid damage indicators inside the phone. if any of them bleed or turn red AT ALL the manufacturer will void the warrabty. sometimes they come back to life sometimes they dont.blue said:I washed/dried my Samsung recently.

Yeah, I've had friends get phones wet and the indicator jizzes all over the inside, so I wasn't planning on warrantying it.
Any suggestions on finding a phone like this
(what my current phone is similar to)
for cheap? I just call and occasionally text message...nothing fancy.

Where to buy? eBay seems expensive.
the problem with getting a phone off e-bay is that 99.999999 percent of the time the phone will not work on the network you are trying to use it on. cdma, tdma, digital, pcs blah blah blah. in addition every carrier has there own operating softwares and PRL softwares. We used to have people come in all the time with phones from e-bay and want to use em and we would have to tell them no.
Verizon phones won't work with T-Mobile service.
Is Verizon still ghetto and not using SIM cards?

Buy a samsung entry level phone. I have one. I have fallen down a flight of stairs and landed on it multiple times and I'm no lightweight. It has also been through the wash, in a swimming pool, and chucked at the ground as hard as I can possibly throw it. The phone still works.
i can throw my dads nextel at a tree and it won't break, but for some reason mine broke when it fell out and i ran over it when i was riding.

Yepper. What I got. Pretty much indestructable so far. If you don't turn it on before it is fully dry is the deal (usually overnight).....
