So for the last 4 months, I've had a Pantech Jest. I Absolutely love the durability of this phone! Two days after I bought it, my mom ran it over, very slowly with her car on accident. 
No damage at all. It survived countless drops, hits, etc. and only a few minor scratches on the screen. I never used a phone case/cover. It survived 4 months with ME, the longest any phone has survived with me. Until I dropped it in water two days ago.
The water, it damaged the end, ok, and call button area, but nothing ( to my knowledge) else. SO I took it apart to manually fix it. (b/c i am a techie) I fixed it, but before i could put it back together, my dog ate a vital piece to the phone! D: So there goes that phone. unless i want to find parts. D:

Anyways, that showed me just how durable this phone has been!! And I defiantly would buy another one of the same, if it weren't for a few minor things.
1st, I like variety, so getting the same type of phone would not make me as happy (for as long) as getting a different type of phone.
2nd- The camera is not very good, at all. (its a 1.3 mega pixel, unlike most phones, which are 2 mega pixel) I would like a slightly better camera. even if its only by .7 mega pixels.
3rd- I want a phone with a ZOOM (when viewing a picture) feature. This one did not have that.
and lastly, Maybe a slightly more inexpensive phone? (i paid 79.99)

I want another VERIZON PREPAID phone. I use the unlimited texting bundle, (bc i text overt 7k texts a month), never need the daily use, and cannot stand the contract. (plus in my town, only at&t and verizon work! D: )
---
SUMMARIZED:
I do not want to spend over $100 on a phone. I want a phone with the durability of a pantech jest, full QWERTY keyboard, on verizon prepaid, better camera, with zoom (when viewing a picture) feature, and preferably, one that either slides (to get to the QWERTY keyboard,) or that flips open to get to the qwerty keyboard (meaning it has 2 screens).

Thanks to everyone with any suggestion/advice in advance!
