Help me, mobile phone junkies!

[CompanyXPaladin]

I need some advice/suggestions - I'm looking to upgrade my phone. I have an LG Chocolate 3, and I didn't really do any research on it before I bought it. The phones that I'm looking at right now are the Samsung Omnia and the Nokia N95.

In my next phone, all I need is a decent camera (5+ megapixels), text messaging, and something resembling durability and battery life. If I could find a dumb-phone, without a Palm/Mac/Windows operating system, with a good camera, I would be ecstatic. I'm on Verizon, and don't want to spend more than $500 on a new phone - I don't have a problem with used phones/ebay though.

I'd like to think I'm pretty computer savvy, and in general technically inclined, but I recently realized that I'm retarded when it comes to cell phones.

Thanks in advance for the help, guys!
