Any decent feature phones coming?

I'm probably going to be adding 2 more 'feature' phone lines before the end of September. Last month I added one for my daughter, a Pantech Crux. ( We went back the Verizon store the day after she got the phone, and it was no longer on display - it had been discontinued! )
She hates the phone; I tried it for a day, and I agree. Its interface is slow and klunky, and overall it's a pain to use.
Looking at the Verizon store, there isn't anything that looks much better. Is there any hope for better 'feature' phones coming soon?

Verizon Unleashed: $50 unlimited talk/text/mobile web for feature phone coming soon?

Verizon Unleashed is a rumored new Verizon prepaid wireless plan featuring unlimited talk/text/mobile web for only $50 a month.
We do not know when it is coming but what is believed to be known is that :
It will be for "feature phones" or non smartphones only.
It will probably take advantage of Opera Mini as a way to enhance the web experience.
All non smartphone Verizon prepaid phones may be eligbile for the plan.
Here are some leaked screenshots of it:
http://www.unwiredview.com/2011/04/08/verizon-may-soon-introduce-a-50-per-month-unlimited-prepaid-plan/
It is unknown if and when it will be released.

As I understand it this plan is currently only in parts of Florida and Southern California for now. I'm hoping it rapidly spreads to the rest of us.

Are they not making any new feature phones anymore?

I know the craze is smartphones but there are many of us that still buy feature phones. Is this the end of feature phones?
Eric

No, in fact, it means the end of the "3G multi-media category". The website now shows 15 "simple, feature" phones, and only 5 3G phones, one is the Reality in two colors. And only 2 of those 5 are in stock. Your choices are simple feature phones or smartphones.
There are several of the feature phones now with 1.3 or 2.0 mp cameras and qwerty keyboards.

NEW Kin TwoM Pricing / New Feature Phones

So, I've been checking the site compulsively for about the last two months...let me know if you think my logic on this is sound:
This week I noticed that the Kin OneM pricing went from 19.99 to FREE- it doesn't seem to be a promotional price either because it's listed as an "Online Discount" the exact same way the Crux and Cosmos are.
This leads me to believe two things:
1) Possibly the best news- with so many of the feature phones moving to FREE pricing, it's not a huge assumption that new feature phone devices may soon be on the way. (Please, please, please offer some compelling phones Verizon...)
2) The Kin TwoM will soon see a price decrease as well- probably to the 19.99 range making it almost impossible to pass up.
If number 1 turns out to be true, I'll be waiting a bit to see what comes out before I pull the trigger on the Kin TwoM.
There's been recent news that Verizon will be releasing devices "later this year" (whatever that means) with the Brew OS and Opera Mini preloaded- this probably means they've got some decent feature phones coming. I'm making that assumption based on the fact that the HTC Freestyle on AT&T has been pretty much regarded as the first device to be released like this...I'm thinking Verizon will want to compete with them at least at the beginning of a new standard of feature phones.
But, if it turns out that they again bring a line-up that only gets the teens excited, count me in for the Kin TwoM.
I'd prefer not to have to walk around the office with the same phone my boss's 15 year old daughter has...now there's an interesting water cooler chat:
"Bergman, nice phone...my tween daughter loves that thing..."

Somehow i feel the Kin phones won't be for sale for much longer. For those that need a basic phone with touch interface, there's other options which have a clearer interface. Including the Costco special Samsung SCH-u370. It's a Samsung u820/Reality that doesn't require data. No free wi-fi, but overall it's a much better phone. More ... finished, than the Kin phones. The Kins to me feels like a Windows Phone beta in comparison.
I do love how the tiles are laid out on the home screen better on the Kins than WP7 phones, there's no empty space above or to the right. And i love the favorites contacts screen of the Kins. WP7 phones though feels much sleeker and better zune like controls. And since you can load apps on WP7 your browser won't be outdated.
For current feature phones, i think the u370 is a top choice on Verizon. Good build quality, clear user interface, nice fonts and sizes, a useful sketch app, and the ability to doodle/notate on your pictures. Excellent value. Kin Onem, i can't reccomend. The phone dial numbers are too small on screen to be usable. Thicker than other feature phones, but because of the form factor, the side buttons are almost useless in one handed use. Kin Twom is much better in these aspects than the Onem. But certain interface font sizes are still too small.
The web browser (IE 6 Mobile) is not bad. Mobile and minimal pages loads quick on wifi. Although the back button is not easy to get to, and i haven't figured out if you can go forward in history. The url/title bar seems unfinished, i wish it would have swapped to the title after entering the url, thus saving space. The tiled bookmarks is a good idea, but page titles doesn't fit on the tiles. Even though the hardware is Tegra1, the Kin doesn't come with Flash lite. So alot of flash interactive buttons and streaming doesn't work. Infact simple mp3 playback and playlists doesn't stream in the browser. Which is sad.
One saving grace for the browser that i have found is Bing. Yep. http://m.bing.com/ Of course on first load it will be in landscape mode. And it only list the top 3 items of the menu, without being able to expand it. But go into portrait mode, and you should see the complete menu. Almost every web app on this menu worked well. My favorite is the directions. It almost makes up for not having google maps. Almost.
The strong points of the Twom is of course the browser + wifi, and zune. Which is like a zune hd lite. The FM radio made up for the lack of web streaming. I'm rediscovering FM thanks to it. And the zune desktop software is very modern and sleek. It made itunes look like it's made for accountants. Personally i love the Twom even though it has its quirks. The ui is unique, not quite WP7, and not like anything else. No branding as well. With FM radio i have wireless music anywhere, for free.
Here are some mobile sites that i found to work on Kin's IE6 Mobile:
http://m.bing.com/ --- search, local, traffic, directions (fantastic), movies, weather, favs.
http://mobile.local.com/ --- more direct/faster way to search for anything local
http://wapedia.mobi/en/ --- easier to load than mobile wikipedia
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/
http://m.whitepages.com/ http://www.gasbuddytogo.com/
http://www.gasbuddytogo.com/ http://translate.google.com/m/
http://translate.google.com/m/
There's plenty of news & social websites that have mobile modes. I've tried cnn, twitter, and youtube. And they all worked well. Youtube mobile seems to be the only way you can stream anything with the browser. I've tried other mobile video/music sites, and no go.
The phone have frozen 4 times within the last day. This happens with heavy web browsing and music playback. Overall i can't recommend the Kin phones, although go ahead and buy one while you can if you know what you're getting into. I feel that future feature phones will be more polished like the Samsung u370/u820 rather than these Kins. I just wish MS, Verizon, Danger and PCD realize that they were on to something great with these Kins despite the marketing flop. I like the TwoM despite the beta feel of the software and hardware (WP7 still looks like it's a beta product).

My complaints about VZW's lack of good "feature" phones

In an effort to save on my wireless bill (college kids have to do that) I have moved from my beloved LG Ally to a KIN TWOm. Upon seeing the selection of "feature" phones that VZW offers, I was left with an empty feeling. Verizon has to have the worst selection of "feature" or "quick messaging" phones in the business. Gone are the glory days of the ENv Touch, Rogue, Chocolate Touch (piece of crap really), and Reality (still found in some stores). Now we (the customer) are stuck with offerings like the Cosmos Touch and the Pantech Crux as well as the KINs. As far as the Cosmos and Crux is concerned, they are far from enticing. So is the once overly hyped KIN series the only appealing decives they offer for those looking to save? Looks that way.
Let's take a look at what competitors like ATT and T Mobile have to offer (I use them as they are now, technically, "bigger" than VZW). ATT has a spectacular selection within their "quick messaging" phones. Some of those that shine brightest are the LG Vu Plus, Samsung Eternity II, Samsung Solstice, HTC Freestyle, and the Pantech Laser (among others). All of these phones offer a
resistive touch screen or better, as well as, at the least, a 2mp camera. All of them also come with some type of social network integration. The Samsung also include an intuitive display that allows you to place widgets on up to three homescreens. The Freestyle provides a smartphone experience without the data package price, and the Laser is acclaimed as the thinnest sliding phone ever.
T Mobile has the Samsung Gravity T, t249, t359 and Nokia Nuron (these stick out to me most). The t249 and t359 aren't touch screen phones, but they have clean interfaces and social networking integration. The Gravity has a 2mp camera, good color choices, and a great OS. The Nuron isn't the greatest phone, but it offers a capacitive touchscreen and a good user experience. Even though T Mobile's selection isn't as good as ATT's, it trounces VZWs'.
If you don't have the pleasure of choosing from great selections (those of ATT and T Mobile) then like most, if not all of us here, you are stuck between choosing a flip phone dating back at least four years (Accolade), one approved by military standards (Ravine, Brigade, Barrage, etc...) or one of the touchscreen "feature" phones VZW offers. The Cosmos Touch, Crux or KIN ONEm or KIN TWOm. What is so bad about these phones? Well, I can't say too much is wrong with the KINs, aside from them carrying a half-baked OS (the potential these phones had was astoundingly lost in bad marketing and under development). The Crux on the other-hand is a pain to use. Considering its unresponsive touch screen, and sluggish performance it makes for a terrible user experience. This leaves the Cosmos Touch-it is no ENv Touch. It lacks a good camera, no way to record video, and a bad screen resolution.
The way I see it is that the only decent "feature" phones VZW offers are the KINs ONEm and TWOm. They are equipped with WiFi, 5 and 8mp cameras (respectively) capacitive touchscreens, and a decent web browser. These are features that ATT and T Mobile do not offer on their "quick messaging" phones (1 point for VZW). Too bad they only come with a stripped OS (no more LOOP or KIN SPOT) because these features were too "data heavy" and, in all honesty, made them too much like smartphones. Nor do they include Backup Assist support, or any access to the VZW apps (really not a big deal anyway). At least when using a KIN you aren't bombarded with VZW marketing and logos.
Before I settled on the KIN TWOm I checked to see if I could get my hands on a Samsung Rogue (re-certified). The only way I could only get it is to pay $159. For a re-certified phone? I don't think so. It is obvious that while ATT and T Mobile are still keeping those in mind who can't afford a smartphone, VZW is forgetting them. They are throwing the "feature" phone to the wind and concentrating on selling expensive smartphones. I will say that they are making smartphones more affordable, but it is not yet enough.
In the end I will stick with VZW, as long as I can afford it....they really do have the best coverage. But I will be a disgruntle customer stuck with a pathetic selection of "feature" phones until the day I go back to my smartphone (out of college maybe?). I will now step off of my soapbox.
Thanks to those of you who read this, and I hope VZW takes this seriously.

The main point of the post was to provide a solid comparison of the lower end phones offered by the three most major carriers in order to show that VZW is falling behind (albeit in brief). I will admit that that did get lost as my post dragged on. The problem is that Verizon does not offer a good enough selection of phones to choose from for those trying to save by going the lower end route.
Thier selection of phones has indeed changed. Comparing the latest run of "feature" phones to the phones they offered not just two years ago, I can see a change. The quallity and build of the products is the same, but the capabilities are lower. If you look back at the phones I mentioned from ATT and compare them to the touchscreen phones that Verizon offers, I think you will see a difference in features. You can get previous phones; but by doing so you forfeit the ability of getting insurance, or any other replacements.
When I said that T Mobile and ATT are bigger than VZW, I am taking into account the merger that is currently taking place. Once the merger is 100% complete they will have about 30 million more subscribers than VZW. I doubt that T Mobile's quick messaging phones will become obsolete like Alltel's did. T Mobile is larger and thier phones are better known.
I agree that VZW has better customer service (many sources can prove this), but I do not agree that ATT's phones are garbage. They carry Samsung, LG, and Pantech. VZW carries the same brands (+ Sharp). I will again agree that VZW is the best all around, except for the selection of "feature" phones. A reason I will stay with Verizon is that they have good customer service, and great reception everywhere, if this were not the case I would switch carriers simply for the chance to get a better lower end phone. I also stay with them in hopes of being able to get a smartphone back one day-VZW has a fantastic selection of them.

New feature phones anytime soon?

Are there going to be any new feature phones anytime soon? I haven't seen any that I like, and am just wondering if there will be any new ones in the near future. Most of the ones sold now are absolutely worthless and the rest (theres only 1 or 2 of them) don't really line up with my tastes and I'd be better off keeping my old phone then get a new phone that will fall apart in a few months or getting one I don't want.
And please don't just give me the link to the feature phones , I'm completely capable of looking there myself and also please don't tell me to sign up for updates, as I'd rather be told by an actual person than being sent a generic email that doesn't really give me the information I'm asking for.
I'm just curious if anybody has any information about new feature phones coming out this summer. I'd like a phone with at least some of the capabilities of a smartphone, or at least a phone that looks nice and works well, but I'm unable to have a data plan since all my money is going towards a college bill and my parents are in control of my phone bill.

Appearently new phones running MP Brew are in the works but I don't suspect they will be out until late this year. This question has been posted more than a few times and Verizon is unwilling to give an answer. The fact that no one is previewing a phone should also be telling as to when the new phones will ship.

Feature Phones

Not everyone in the Verizon network can afford to have Smartphones or aren't interested in this. Seems like the focus lately is on smartphones and upgrading $15 or $30 and if you have a grandfathered VCast Video plan, you have to pay an extra $15. So to get a smartphone and have unlimited data, you must pay $30 plus pay your $15 for Vcast Video to keep it (which already includes unlimited everything). So with a smartphone it's going to be $45 a month for customers that have been with your plan for years. I have been a valued customer for 16 years and quite frankly am disappointed with Verizon. Why can't you get better feature phones. All you're feature phones are crap!!! Not everyone wants a flip phone, not everyone wants a touch screen. Hey, what happened to flash with the camera on a phone? With the economy the way it is, feature phones that actually work and last would be nice. Can anyone tell me if there will be any new feature phones that will be coming out in 2011 that are worth having????

I'll tell you why ALL the feature phones are crap.
Because, BigRed is trying to increase subscriber revenue by coercing all its customers to Smart phones and the higher rate plans.
You want a good camera.....good screen res. ........ or good texting... then its get the smart phone and its increa$ed data plan and SPEND more money!
Their basic phones look like they have been produced 10 years ago!
They currently don't have anything that even comes close to my Env Touch; 800 x 480 screen res, 16 million colors, 3.2 mega pixel camera and its good, and full keyboard.
VZ doesn't want the lowe end customers and is trying to shake them...... nuff said.
Too bad, because I am one of them. I would love to get ANY smart phone BUT I don't want to increase my bill by 75%.
....and BEFORE you dolts out there complain about getting a smartphone and NOT using the features, you would be wrong.
I would like a good camera, good video res., good texting ability and wifi, but Bid Red doesn't want this to happen.

New feature phone

I have heard that there is a new feature phone coming out from samsung. The samsung u380?? Anyone else hear this?

"Anyone else hear this?"
Yes. This is the only information I have found; and in the comments section at one of the links, someone said the phone will be called the Samsung Brightside

New Feature Phones in the Future?

I have been looking at the feature phones that verizon has currently on their website and they haven't changed for some time. As of Feb 1 the data packages have changed and was wondering which of the feature phones currently on the list would require a $10 data charge? My son's line is up for an upgrade, but there are not any phones on the current list that are as good as the EnV Touch. What is bad is I am probably going to have to play the $10 to get him a phone that is like the EnV Touch and before Feb 1, I could have gotten him a Vortex for free and pay $15. I know we are all in the same boat and really don't have a clue what plan is next and when it will be, I am just a little frustrated.
Are there any new feature phones on the horizon that are not a flip, Ozone or Cosmo like phone? Are there any phones that might come out that are like the LG Dare or the LG Versa? Any phones like the HTC Smart for AT&T?
All the news on any of the blogs or boards are about smartphones, where is the love for us who have family plans already and can't afford a $29.99 data fee on our phones?
Thanks
P.S. - Someone might say, "Hey how about the Kin Two m?". Well, the there are problems with that phone and it seems the Verizon Wireless salesmen/women try to steer you away from it. Is there a $10 data package on that phone? It does not say on the website when you view that phone.

Thank you everyone for your responses. All of our Feature phones listed, can select the pay-as-you go $1.99/MB plan or a MB package. If you are looking for a non-slider all touch screen phone, the Pantech Crux is an option. Even though we do have any new information about new phones being released, I would like to invite you to sign up for email updates to be among the first to be notified of new phones and services. You can click this direct link: www.verizonwireless.com/emailupdates

Are there any good basic/feature phones that have been discontinued?

My brother currently has the Samsung Intensity II and it's giving him a lot of problems. After troubleshooting with tech support it is best for him to replace the phone. The insurance deductible is $45 but the phone will likely be refurbished. I am seeking a non-smartphone for him that I can purchase via eBay or Craigslist. Because he is 16, he wants some type of smartphone. Preferably the iPhone or a low/mid-grade Android phone. I won't allow him to get a smartphone until he gets a job and pays for the phone and monthly data plan.
I am sort of disappointed in the selection of basic phones on the Verizon website - there are only 7 phones under $100. It seems backwards that there are 23 smartphones under $100. The conspiracy theorist in me would think this is a ploy to coax customers to move towards smartphones but I digress. I have been looking at the Samsung Brightside and the ZTE Adamant (discontinued - not offered on vzw.com) and they seem pretty cool and reasonably priced on eBay. Are there any other basic or feature phones that you would recommend [including discontinued and upcoming phones]?
I would rather not purchase a phone directly through Verizon so that it does not extend the contract or interfere with his upgrade date (to ensure that he will be able to afford the phone of his choice when he is ready).

Another vote for the Env3 - son and daughter both had them (18 and 21) and they were more than adequate phones and worked well for them. My son (now nearing 24) is still using his though he is eligible for an upgrade now - he likes it and sees no reason to change until it quits on him.
The Alias (original) was a good phone for my daughter before her Env3, and I really enjoyed my LG Voyager, touchscreen. None of the phones require a data plan, if you can find them.

I lost my E 71 phone is there any security feature...

i lost my E 71 phone is there any security feature to get SMS when someone replaces SIM

I don't think there is. Even if there was, it'd be a bit late now as you've already lost the phone.
Some security practices to use for mobile phones:
- Change the default lock/security code of the phone
- Change the default PIN and PIN2 codes of the SIM card
- Make sure the PIN code query is enabled when the phone is started
- Make sure the setting that requires entering the lock/security code at SIM card change is enabled
- Enable the autolock feature
- Put a password on the memory card (so that the card cannot be used in another device)
- Do not install software (applications/games) on your phone from questionable mobile or web sites
- Do not install software on your phone, which is sent unsolicited (even if it comes from someone you know)
- Make frequent backups (or otherwise copy/save any data you don't want to lose)

Will be released any A200-based feature phones?

It's a pity that Sony Ericsson stopped development of A200 feature phones. This platform has not now any alternatives on the mobile devices market (except for Nokia's S40 but Series 40 does not support neither multitasking nor access to the internal filesystem nor system-level applications). Google Android is not an alternative for A200 because:
1) it's written in full on Java and causes fast battery discharging, slowdown interface, wasteful use of hardware resources;
2) the system does not draw the line between third-party and system level applications, so, it's opened for viruses;
3) user can't set permissions of applications, it can do everything if installed (on A200 user can prohibit for any application, for example, to send SMS, if he is not sure that the application is not a trojan), so, special software and root access for blocking unwanted operations is needed;
4) the phone functionality in Android is realised too bad, even to send or correctly view EMS is a big problem;
5) Android has a very bad support of hardware buttons's navigation, it does not support hot keys.
So, I do not understand the reason (except of temporary financial problems) of why Sony Ericsson suddenly stopped development of A200 and replaced it with really budget Arima- and PNX-based phones, and later all phones, including low-price models, were released with the Android on-board. It's a very strange politics. Java Microedition has not died, it's still used in the budget phones of other companies, so why you can't revive a good-old A200, develop some new API's for Java ME (for example, NFC support)? It's cheaper to support an OSE-based native code platform and sometimes add to it new functionality than permanently optimize every new version of Android for low-power hardware, why you do not understand it? Not everybody wants a touchscreen phone, the keyboard control is more fast and easy if the user know the hotkeys, it's not needed to permanently see where he is pressing (screen does not have a haptic difference).
I hope that my lone voice will be heared. There was a similar petition in the last year, and it was signed by tens of thousands of people. But the directions of the company has not changed from that time. So, I'll end with a new popular meme: "Sony, what you're doing??? ahahahaha... stop it".

I know there still are people out there who don't want an android/smartphone. This has, just as you mention, been up here and on other places as well. At least here in Sweden it's still possible to buy some of the A200/OSE-models like Cedar, but most retailers seems to choose not to have them in stock and I guess that's because the majority of customers right now want smartphones. As I'm sure you understand I can't promise anything in terms of releasing a new A200/OSE-phone, but I will however forward this feedback internally.

What is the "best" feature phone to upgrade?

I am due for my upgrade on my current phone (which I love most of the time) my LG EnV 3 which I have had for 2+ years. Upon learning that Verizon discontinued the EnV series I was really upset, especially since the only good phones left are smartphones. I am about to start my senior year at college and neither my parents nor I can afford a smartphone for this last year of my school. After school, if I get a consitant job I am planning on upgrading to an iPhone regardless of the >$800 I will have to shell out.
So my question is, for the next year or so (two years tops) should I buy the LG Cosmos or the LG Cosmos Touch? I really want a touch screen, but is it worth $50? Is the Cosmos even any good? I know the camera is awful, the keyboard is small, and no video capabilities? Also, does the Cosmos (not touch) let me use mp3 files as ringtones? I know the LG Octane is good, but I don't have $100 and it's probably not worth that much money. Or should I get the Samsung SCH-u370, which is also $50 although I cannot find it on the Verizon website, but the bestbuy website.
Or should I just wait until Verizon comes out with new feature phones? The only probablem with my current phone is that it randomly turns off all the time consistantly, which is really annoying but has never been a major problem. Is Verizon even ever going to update it's feature phones? Or are poor college students going to have to resort to crappy phones or crappy service (not Verizon?).
Thanks in advance!

Don't get a new phone until they offer better phones. I have the ENV3 and refuse to "downgrade" to a junk phone. There are no feature phones even close to the ENV3 though Verizon would like to say that the Octane is but from what I read and people I talk to the echo makes it not worth even getting stuck with for 2 years.
I just bought a new battery from ebay and will continue to just keep this phone or if I have to buy another phone from ebay before I get one of their stinking phones.
To: SuzyQ - longtime Verizon customer
Helping others get the most out of their phones!
I too am a longtime Verizon customer and was like you for years and years. I thought Verizon was tops until they have stopped caring for those of us who do not want nor can afford smart phones. They have shown what they think of us who just want a good phone with the same features we had 2 years ago without a data plan. Now they want us to think that all that is out there is stinking junk phones when they offered better phones just in the recent past. Why do they think we are stupid? Its all about the almighty dollar and not the customers.

I upgraded to the ios 5 today, but it dosent seem to have given me any new features and i didnt/wasnt asked to perform a setup? any help?

so i upgraded my iphone to the new ios 5, and for some reason i dont have any new features, no imessages or anything. it didnt ask me to set anything up, is there a way i can fix this?

iOS5 has not been officially released yet so it's anyone's guess what you actually installed...
Have you checked the OS version number on the phone itself?

When I plug any of my phones into the computer it does not connect.

When I plug any of my phones into the computer it does not connect. I can hear a beep but that's it. I checked all of my USB cords and the same results. Normally it would download my new pictures and start charging and that no longer happens. When I plug my wall charger in the phone charges.
