I'm stuck with Verizon.

Got 4 models to choose from ....

For Internet purposes -- which is my best bet?

Yes -- it's a Verizon store though -- so I assume I have to get back in.

450 anytime mins plus unlimited texts for $59.99 month I suppose.

Plus you need the $30/mo internet access fee, don't you?

I have the Samsung epic and would recommend using their phones over the HTC. My co-workers all carry those and are recharging all the time. Battery life is about 3 hours if you actually use the thing.

There is also a promotion that if you turn in your old phone, you'll get a $100 gift card back.

whatever you land on will feel disappointing in 6 months and will never be as cool as whippin' this out of a holster:

i have the 3g HTC incredible and while the phone is great it's a battery vampire. i'm lucky to make it to lunch if I use it for any video or downloads or picture messages. it actually does OK if I am just talking on it.
