Verizon phone like I95CL

[Jade ED]

This is going to be hard to explain but I am looking for a new verizon phone, needs to be around $100 since I have my NE2 upgrade to make it free. Basicly I want something like my old Nextel I95cl, because that was the only phone I actualy loved and didnt want to throw in the trash. Here is what I loved about that phone that I want in a new phone.

1. Easy to modify, upload ringtones, games, etc., USB is its friend.
2. Can take some abuse, I am a blue colar guy and the phone comes to work with me, not saying it has to be a tank but it cant be known to fall apart like the razers.
3. mp3 ringtones
4. VZ navigator (not a must but would be nice with all those ways to get it for free)
5. Reception!! Is it that hard to get a phone with decent reception, my current phones dies in 1 minute completely charged and plugged into the wall since it has to try so hard to gain a signal!!

I narrowed it down to the EN-V and the GZone, unfortunately both are older models, I would rather have a new model but that may take some waiting. I am open to suggestions for stuff right thats out right now cause I doubt my POS KX414 will last any longer as my backup phone plus that 30 day test drive gives me 30 days to see if a new model comes out .

Thanks
Charles

if you want easy usb connectivity i would suggest a moto as they connect using the miniusb jack, those can be found online for > $2.

games cannot be uploaded on any verizon phone, they can be backed up, but they require you to buy it first.

for you, i would suggest the vx8300 or the maxx ve
