newbie question about Verizon

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

I am interested in getting a verizon cell phone. This would be my first cell
phone so could someone either give me a link that kinda would help me pick
out the right phone? My friend has a LG..something... and he loves it. I
would love to be able to take pictures using the cell phone. How do those
pictures look though? Are they good or just real blotchy? Thanks for the
help..

I have the LG6000 and overall it's a solid phone.
The picture quality isn't that great but it's fine for what I do and
the phone offers different resolutions which helps a little. I use the
Calendar more than the camera and have dropped Pix messaging from my
plan.

Whatever phone you decide to get be sure to get Bitpim and a cable for
it rather than paying Verizon to email pictures back and forth. If you
don't have a $5.00 plan they will charge you $.25 a picture to send
them. You can transfer them to a PC with Bitpim and a cable. That's
the way to go.

If you want more information search google groups for Bitpim. This has
been covered extensively here.
