Verizon: LG enV, VX8600, or Moto KRZR?

I've only had one cell phone so far which is the LG VX6100. I keep my phone in my pocket, I refuse to wear a bulky case so at first I looked at ultra thin phones such as the VX8600 and the KRZR, but the enV seems interesting and the specs say it's actually 4 mm thinner than the phone I have now.

I was thinking, I could get the enV first to see how I like it, then if I'm not satisfied, I could just return it and get either the 8600 or KRZR. But there enlies the problem. The 8600 and the KRZR are very similar. The 8600 has stereo Bluetooth and a larger outside screen, but the KRZR has longer battery life (or so say the stats).

Help please!

Thanks in advance.
 
If you text a lot then I would highly suggest the enV. The keypad on the 8600 is completely flat and slick, and it makes texting slightly difficult, at least for me. If this is not a big issue, I would suggest the 8600 over the KRZR. The 8600 has flash themes, and the KRZR does not, the screens are larger, and calls are very clear. Both incoming and outgoing sound is very clear for a cell phone when using the 8600. The reception on the 8600 isn't amazing, but at least in Los Angeles, the one I use always has service. The only place I have seen it say no service was in places that my e815 couldn't even get a signal, and if the e815 can't get a signal, no Verizon phone can. Good luck

Well, if you are interested in the enV, then maybe you might be interested in the Samsung SCH-U740. It's the about the same thinkness as the VX8600.
 
Nah, I heard bad reviews about the Samsung SCH-u740. Plus I'd probably "fat finger" something while texting since the keys are so small on it.
 
Did a 2 year renewal recently and got both the Vx8600 and Krzr for two of my lines. Side by side, vx8600 has a larger and more vibrant outer screen. The software responds much faster (menu's , camera, everything), and the reception was 1 bar higher in my house using 4 different tests at different times using the VX8600.

The Krzr just seems like a crappy new Razr imho.
