Looking for New Verizon Phone

So my 1 yr contract is done in August and I'll renew so I can get a new phone. I've had the v60 and the v60s over the past 2 years.

Features I would like:
Speakerphone
Camera
Anything else cool? Fill me in on the details

Most importantly, I need durability. If anything has a metal case that would be great. My first v60 was missing about 1/4 of the paint on the shell, so you know I abuse these things.

Thanks Guys

Freakin' Verizon

The VX-8100 also adds Bluetooth and a miniSD card slot. However, it appears that a certain carrier has imposed their infamous "crippling" on these features. First, the Bluetooth feature only supports the Headset, Handsfree, and Dial-Up-Networking profiles - no OBEX. As for the card slot, in our hands-on tests, the miniSD card slot was strictly limited to playing MP3s loaded onto the card from a PC or other source. The card could not be used to store or transfer photos or videos, nor transfer ringtones, wallpapers, etc.

If I had a dollar for every time I heard that…I’d be a rich man.
But I’d still be waiting for a cool phone from Verizon.

Shawn S…. Patiently waiting for the 8100 or something comparable.

How about the 6255i, get an unlocked one and activate it on VZW.

I love my LG6100. The reception is great and I don't believe I've dropped any calls since moving to Verizon from Sprint. I also had AT&T before and Verizon is by far been the best. I'm pretty much a Verizon person for life unless they somehow screw things up and their reliability goes down the tube.
