*CONS - none really?

LG enV Touch -

Designed for your most discriminating customers, the new LG enV® TOUCH combines undeniable style with an unrivaled multimedia experience. The exceptional range of leading–edge features puts the enV TOUCH in the company of the world’s finest handsets. Its bright, external touch screen measures an impressive three inches and features state–of–the–art tactile feedback. The full–size QWERTY keyboard, with widely spaced keys, accommodates the texting needs of the most demanding executives.

*PROS - QWERTY keyboard, 3.2mp camera, visual voicemail, 4 out of 5 stars
*CONS - nothing really, except the Husby has the same phone. (boring)

So there you have it...I am really, really leaning towards the Rogue...but the Droid Eris seems pretty cool too!!! Anyone have any of the above and want to give me your reviews? Husby and I are dropping by the Verizon store tomorrow to check them out in person. I have an $100 upgrade to use well, so there is the potential for the phone I pick to be FREE too!!!
