I lost my cell phone about 6 weeks ago - I was way overdue for an upgrade, but I had not been motivated enough to get one. Old phone was a fairly standard LG flip phone - not too fancy but worked fine for texting, calling, and photographing.
I went three weeks ago to get a new one, and I ended up with the Samsung Reality which the Verizon rep said I would love. I am paying 9.99 a month for email, limited internet, Facebook etc. It's a touch screen with a slide out key board.

Well, I have a few issues with it - I can't quite master the touch screen - I might be trying to scroll and yet I accidentally press something I don't want which pops up... annoying. Is it me... or the phone? Hmm...
The camera has a delay, so every picture I've taken is bad - missed shot.
I haven't taken the time to figure out the email or other features.
I have one week left to decide if I want to trade it for something else... I really can't decide. Should I give the Reality more of a chance or go for something else?
Who has a phone you love? What do you recommend? Should I take the plunge for a full smart phone even though I don't really NEED it? What to do?
By the way, I am 42, no kids-- I do text a fair amount, and of course it would be fun to be able to check Facebook and get on the internet now and then (though I don't need to really). One of my high school students told me it was a teenager phone and I need to get an adult phone - what would that be? She said a blackberry - funny.
So, any recommendations or reviews would be welcome! I really want to get something I'll like, as I'll have it two years (Verizon contract) Thanks a bunch.
