So far I'm liking my Samsung A670. It has a camera, but it's not ALL bells and whistles. Good size, fairly good reception, easy to use, and it was only $50 after rebate at Radioshack with a 1 year contract, which is $100 less than what I would have paid from Verizon directly. Check out places like RS, BB, CC, etc. for different deals than what the providers offer directly.
And if you're a brand new customer or switching carriers, I'd check out amazon.
