Well, it has come to that time again, my two year trade-in at the phone dealership. So now I have the potential to either get a brand new phone for free, or get one at a discounted price. I am looking at a few, but I really have no idea... So I decided to come to my brothers at The Dent. I trust y'all's taste.

These are my choices, and as you can see, I am looking at a price range of FREE (which those phones are rubbish) to $100... I am, after all, a poor college kid. I can't be buying an iPhone or whatnot
I like the Voyager for it's touch screen, and it's fold-out QWERTY keyboard... but it can't connect via WiFi and I'm really looking for a phone which is more... "open" to me, I guess you could say. Verizon tends to lock down their phones pretty heavily and prevent any customization... I've heard SmartPhones (Palms and BlackBerrys) are better for customizing and tweaking and the like...
Any advice, anyone? This phone will have to last me two years or more. I'm really liking the Voyager, but I'm also liking the Blackberry and the Palm and the SMT5800... Gah. I know blackberrys are more for businessmen, which I am not...
Advice?
