Microsoft KIN TWOm vs. Pantech Crux

Suck my rooster

I am on Verizon and currently own an LG Dare which I love. But I'm getting a new phone now.

Basically what I'm looking for in a phone is a feature phone without any extra fees that can play/organize music very well that has a 3.5mm headphone jack and Bluetooth. I definitely would like to view/keep organized my videos/pictures as well, but music is my #1 priority. All I can find so far is the Microsoft KIN TWOm and the Pantech Crux.

I like the KIN's UI, Zune software, radio, amazing camera, and WiFi, but the 8GB seems a little limiting for me. I have 8GB of music, which I could always cut down, but then there's still not much space for pictures/videos. Also, I'm not sure about the QWERTY keyboard since I'm already used to the Dare's on-screen keyboard. But I'm leaning towards this one right now I THINK.

The Crux, on the other hand, has an expansion slot so I could add a lot more memory. I don't really like the UI at all, and the camera honestly isn't that great. The sliding lock is weird, the headphone jack is in an awkward place, and I apparently the touchscreen isn't the greatest. But the battery life is better. Basically the one thing I like more about this is the memory, which unfortunately means a lot to me.

What are your opinions? Are there any other phones you could suggest, or am I stuck with these two for Verizon? (Of course the Chocolate Touch and Samsung Reality have the $9.99 fee and are discontinued... )
 
you may have already came across this, but lots of info about the twoM here
