i was hoping to find one that flips open instead of slides open, just because i like phones that flip open, but if i have to, i'll get a slider. I'm trying to find the best QWERTY Keyboard sell phone with Verizon because i'm able to upgrade to in a month and we are alltel users who might be becoming Verizon users so i figured if were going to have text messaging included it would be easier to get a QWERTY Keyboard. 

my question is what is the best QWERTY Cell Phone to get, it can be flip or a slider.

by this i mean

easy to use keys, better battery life, 2.0 or higher megapixels, with a Micro SD Slot, gets really good cell phone signals etc...

i looked at the enV3 and read everything about it, and everything looked perfect for me, however i read the reviews and a bunch of them were bad news, mostly about the short battery life, how it cuts on and off, and how its tough to get a signal even though Verizon is Nationwide. So i check out other phones and its about the same, short battery life, cuts on and off, etc...

my price range is around $150 with a discount online or in person making it so that it becomes around $80 after rebate or the discount.

by the way, all i've ever owned have been regular flip phones because i like how you can end the call by just flipping the phone shut.

another complaint i've read is locking the phone to keep you from accidentally pressing the buttons when its in your pocket is to hard or you have to do certain things to get it to lock.
