Best QWERTY/Dumb Phone to switch to?

Ready to ditch my iPhone and go back to basics. Here are phones I'm considering (some are older models I need to buy unlocked online). Any other suggestions? Basic internet and email would me nice but not necessary. Ease of texting is important. Thinking:

1. Samsung Propel (fave phone I owned)
2. Pantech Vybe
3. LG Xpression and Xpression 2
4. AT&T Cingular Flip 2

Buy what you know is good.

  • Would you say waiting 2 weeks outside store to buy an item is dumb? Example - waiting or camping to buy an iphone. - waiting outside for the black Friday event. Is it worth it? Let's say your per hour at work is $7. That 56/day. $280 a week. $560 in two week. So if you missed work for those days that 560 in loss.

  • What is better - iPhone or iPad + A Dumb Phone? Lately I get increasingly frustrated day after day for the fact that irrespective of the smart phone I use, the battery drains so fast that I have to charge it twice a day. Hence I'm thinking of using a combo of a dumb phone (opp of smart phone) + an iPad (for emails and other stuff) instead of my iPhone. What is your opinion?
  • Was I dumb to buy the iPhone 5? Apple haters get lost I bought it yesterday and I LOVE IT I upgraded from the iPhone 4 but I remember how the 4s came out and made the iPhone 4 look GAY and Siri was revolutionary and the chip a5 is what iPhone 5 has I think?
