Answer 1

ok verizon's got a numerous selection of impressive phones right now. i've had several verizon phones and most of em are good. (don't get an entry level phone though. buy the most cutting edge one you can afford that way it'll last you for a while) i reccomend the verizon voyager, blackberry 8830 world edition, and samsung sch-u740. the verizon voyager is the evolution of the verizon enV and features a very large touch screen on the front but flips open to reveal an actual qwerty keyboard and another wide screen on the inside. the samsung sch-u740 on the other hand is a flip phone that flips 2 different ways! it flips up like a normal flip phone but also flips up to the side like the voyager and enV in qwerty keyboard mode. you have to see it to believe it. also there are external touch sensitive music controls on the outside that can be used while it's closed (but they don't work as well as you'd like a bit too touchy one moment and unresponsive the next.) also the blackberry 8830 is notable because it's one of the few verizon phones that has gsm support and still has the usual cdma support making this phone usable all over the world. in addition it has a full qwerty keyboard and a trackball. not to mention the awesome blackberry operating system.

now on a side note if you can buy a phone on a carrier separate from verizon get a nokia n 95. it's one of the most expensive phones but also one of the most advanced. it features an amazing 5 megapixel camera with carl zeiss optics, music playing capability and video playback on the screen in landscape mode for widescreen viewing on the roomy 2.6 inch screen. also with a normal headphone jack you don't have to buy new headphones or an adapter. also it's tv output feature lets you put movies on it bring it to a friends house and output the video on their tv. wifi lets you browse the web at higher speeds than normal cellphone web browsing speeds when a hotspot is nearby. also gps lets you get from point a to point b a lot easier and theres an fm radio to boot. did i mention it's a dual slider? sliding up to reveal a dial pad and sliding down to reveal dedicated multi media controls.(when it's slid down with multi media controls being shown it shifts into landscape mode).

well i hoped i helped. (notable phones on verizon also include the lg vx 9400 with mobile tv and a rotating slide up screen, the new chocolate by lg(an improvement over the crappy original...a BIG improvment) and the enV(but with the voyager out why get the older enV?)

Answer 2

cellular telephones are not the excellent element to get as a latest, it may unquestionably get broken or no longer be some thing he needs. Watch is unquestionably a solid theory as a latest. a spectacular briefcase or pc case is spectacular as properly. while you're extreme approximately one yet another, what approximately reserving a weekend getaway or perhaps merely one million nighttime at an area inn with dinner. Then incorporate coupons for issues like a moonlight walk, breakfast in mattress, a rubdown, and so on...
