I thought I wanted the Motorola Z6c World Edition, being the Moto fan I am. However, I had a chance to take a look at the Samsung Renown last week while I was in a Verizon market (Washington, DC), and I have to tell you, I was impressed.

Its a good phone.

2.0 mega pix cam. V Cast Video and Music 3G EVDO.

Will I use the GSM extensively? No, probably not, but I will use it from time to time. I really don't see anything else in the Verizon line right now that just blows me away, phone-wise. If, when I'm ready to take care of all of this, Motorola has something comparable to the Renown other than the Z6c, I might reconsider. At the moment, though, this one gets my vote.

As an aside, I think it's reprehesensable that those of us who are interested in using a cell phone only as a talking device with virtually no desire for any of the additional featu...
