Verizon Phone Questions

I was looking into these phones:

Samsung Omnia-free after New Every Two, but have to sign up for additional $30 plan
Motorola Krave-$80 after New Every Two
LG Dare-$80 after New Every Two
LG VX8360-free after New Every Two

You guys have any strong opinions on any of these?

I like the Wi-fi on the Omnia, but I think I'll just pass on it since it's mandatory to get the $30 email package.

With the Krave and Dare, I think I have the flexibility to sign up and delete the Vcast package anytime I want (that's the $15 unlimited internet pkg)...does anyone know if that's true and whether there is a charge to downgrade or upgrade to it?

The VX8360 is just nice and small.

I'm leaning towards the Krave or Dare and didn't know how those would be like. Are the browsers any good? Can I check AOL, yahoo and gmail mails on it? Can I pretty much access any website for the $15 unlimited internet package? Figure if I need to text people, I can just do it through one of my email accounts like yahoo or gmail.

Thanks for any feedback!

Dare is nice, I like it a lot more than my friends' krave (they later admitted they should have gotten the dare like me). Don't need vcast to use phone, not sure about checking email, but mobile aim on the dare is fine for me, allows use of a full buddy list.

What phone is that? Maybe the Dare will drop in price once the new LG phone comes out. I just didn't want to pay too much for a phone right now since I'm guessing I'm just going to use it as a phone and nothing else. Having the option to add/drop mobile web will be nice.

Get the new LG Versa. Just like the dare but comes with a attachable keyboard. Do not get the Krave. It is a very poorly designed phone for txting and emailing.
