Here's what's up:
I have a Motorola E815 and Verizon Wireless right now.
The main reason I want to keep Verizon is because I use Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking with my PDA just about every day, and I never use up my minutes.

Now, I actually work at Radio Shack, so I know all about Cingular and Sprint's plans. I'm extremely turned on by the iPhone, but I have an awesome PDA already, so it's pretty impractical for me right now. (Plus, the phone plus the new plan would be too expensive.)

So my main question is... For those of you who have owned or know a lot about the E815, what would be the best phone for me? I'm a HUGE tech junkie, so price is no matter. I don't really want a PDA-phone because I already have an awesome PDA. I do a lot of texting, but I don't really like phones that are overly-big. Then again, I really don't like RAZR-style phones, either. I know, I know... I'm very picky. But hell, if I'm going to be stuck with it for 2 more years, I want it to be amazing.

Another must is that it has to have a Micro SD slot, but most phones have that now. Now, I do like that phone that flips up normally like a cell phone, but can also flip up sideways so you can use the full keyboard. But at the same time, it seems like it would be prone to breaking easily. Also, the whole "small number keypad" kinda sucks. And quite frankly, I'm ok with texting using numbers.

Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions? It's almost time for me to get a new phone, and I want to make sure whatever I get is awesome! I know when I got my E815, it was the week it launched. I was going to get a v710, but read on these forums that the E815 was coming out. Anyway, I just want a great phone. (Also, if it's easily hackable to enable Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking, and song transfering, that would be ideal.)

Thanks!

I was looking at the Motorazr Maxx Ve, and I must say... I do like the design, and it seems to have all the features I want. But I'm wondering, is there a better choice? Who here has upgraded from the E815?

what do you think about the env? i had a e815 before i got the env, (btw, i loved the e815) but ya, you should like the env
 
I don't suppose that can activated with Verizon, can it?

[Edit] Oh, I just double-checked, and Verizon totally offers it. (Before, I was looking for the model number... It was just listed as the enV)

That does look like a pretty good phone, and I like the 2MP camera, too. Are there any specific features of that phone that make it better than the Maxx Ve? How loud is it in playing Midis and MP3s? Can you transfer Midis and Mp3s to the phone and apply them as ringtones? (Even if you do need to hack it)

Does it suppose Bluetooth DUN? I do like this phone, thank you for showing it to me.

hi all... im jumpin on board this post because I too LOVE my e815. well, loved... alas i left my phone on top of my car and drove away and well, it ended up in a thousand pieces. i'm eligable for a new verizon phone & the new-every-two $100 rebate, and i as well want a phone as awesome our e815s! it was hackable... played mp3s, could send pics to it for custom ringer pics & tones as well, had the counterstrike skin, my own sonic screensaver, customizable... well, everything. i'll miss that if my new phone won't be hackable. i will be researching this very intently for i am going shopping for that special phone as soon as we come up with a good solution!! g/l and may we find out answer

edit: this will be a tough feat, i also just remembered how SICK the signal reception was! 1 of, if not the best, verizon phone reception wise. oh man, some1 help usss
 
I love mine, but my bluetooth has stopped working! I reformatted it, and reflashed it, and still nothing, so it must be a hardware issue. I am wanting just the basics (GREAT reception) I'm looking at the Motorola V325i...it's supposed to be the closest to the e815 as far as reception goes.
