What phone for BG??

Hey guys and gals. BG needs your assistance. BG has verizon when he is in the US and needs a new world phone. Which one would be the best for him? He wants it to take good pics and work well over seas. The past couple trips the BG verizon phone did not work for out going calls. BG was not a happy egomaniac.:)

Get one with the BIGGEST screen so you can see it better :P

Verizon has a phone that many folks don't know exist because they don't advertise it. The Droid 2 Global edition would cover your world needs along with having a decent camera and large screen with keyboard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3_KD...eature=related

Thanks....BG will check it out. It sucks that verizon phones don't take a sim card. If they did you could unlock them in other countries and use them there to save a ton of money. Any ideas around this?

The Droid 2 Global does use a sim card. If you call Verizon they should give you the unlock code to use foreign sims as long as you've had service with them for more than 6 months. Just pop in a foreign sim and enter the unlock code given and you'll be all set.

I will have to check on that for sure. That's perfect for what I need. Thanks a lot.:gj:

Dunno if verizon has it but the nokia N8 is really good probably my next phone it's sim card phone has full gps touch screen and a HUGE! 12.1 MP camera with full 720p HD video recording. The gps system is good because apperantly nokia owns the satalites for tom tom gps for cars so top notch stuff.

It really does look good. BG kinda hates touch screen though. The camera and video on that interest BG though.

Nokia N8 is a great phone, but it won't help you on Verizon. It's also all touch screen and the on screen keyboard is sort of awful on it although they are supposed to be updating the keyboard and browser.

Yeah I see that. I need to get a new phone soon, there's just so many it's hard to choose. Not being able to use the phone when I leave the country has been a pain in the butt. I've had to get new phones there. I have so many phones now, I'm gonna open a used cell phone store. hahaha

Japan you could only rent one though.
