The phone I finally chose...

After much deliberation and sorting through Verizon's wide selection of phones, I finally purchased the V325 (and my wife got the RAZR V3M, she can post her own review).

Here's why the V325 appealed to me:

Great design, form factor, and feel in your hand. It's not too small or light weight, and the silver on rubber is great. My wife immediately said "this is very good looking and masculine."
The phone can fall back to Analog in case I'm in the boonies.
GPS just in case.
Awesome sound / reception / speaker phone.
No vcast to distract you.
You can change the alert from normal ring to silent from while the phone is closed.
Mini USB cable to charge and for data sharing - (I plugged it into my mac, tweaked iSync, and with no effort I can sync my calendar and contacts to my phone without an extra software). This also means if you're out and need a charge, it's likely you can just plug it into a friend's computer for juice!
Plenty of built in memory to keep a photo album of friends and family.

The only 2 minuses are:

I'm a little sorry it doesn't have bluetooth, but it wasn't a deal-breaker.
The Verizon UI sucks. Once the phone is completely set up, this won't be much of an issue.

There you go. Hopefully this will help people who want a stylish no-nonsense Verizon phone.
