pick my phone.

I have been very patiently waiting for my phone contract to be two years old so I can apply the discount I've earned and upgrade my phone past this one with no external display (and no one-touch silencing).  Options I am considering are:
  • LG LX160
    pro
    $19.99 after the discount
    I like LG in general
    flip style so I don't have to worry about locking the keypad
    con
    no camera
    some negative reviews, but honestly, I think a lot of reviews of a lot of things are disproportionately negative, because people are more likely to want to bitch about something than rave about it

  • LG Rumor
    pro
    slide-out qwerty keyboard - yay, easier texting
    camera
    GPS
    con
    not flippy

  • Sanyo Katana
    pro
    camera
    GPS
    flippy
    con
    not so awesome
    I'm not as familiar with Sanyo
The LX160 only comes in silver.  I'd get the Katana in "liquid graphite", that is, gunmetal grey.  I think I'd get the Rumor in green, which would be kind of cool.  Anyone have suggestions they'd like to contribute to make this decision easier?

The Rumor, simply because it's got a QWERTY keyboard.
