There are a few different basic phones (phones that don't require data packages) with touchscreens that verizon currently offers. The pantech hotshot. This phone is just a touchscreen with no keyboard, though it has a virtual keyboard on the screen.
Then there is the lg cosmos touch. This device has a touch screen and a slide out keyboard. The lg cosmos touch has better customer ratings and it looks like it has less issues, so I would suggest the lg cosmos touch.
I don't think the Verizon Lg Chocolate Touch, is a smart phone. My brother has one and it works good. If your not used to touch screens, I don't know how it would be.
I'm getting the Lg enV touch in a few days..I don't think its a smartphone.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
