Speaking of cell phones

I really need some advice. While I'm an AT&T customer, Bonnie continues to use Verizon. There are a few practical reasons why that I won't get into -- suffice it to say that she's going to stay with Verizon at the moment. But her phone desperately needs to be replaced.

Of paramount importance to Bonnie is long standby and talk time. She'd also like to use Verizon's VZ Navigator service for turn-by-turn directions. Beyond that, synchronizing content with her Mac isn't important (she uses a Palm PDA for that) and other multimedia features aren't really important, either.

Does anyone within the reach of my keyboard have any recommendations for a Verizon phone that would be ideal for what she's doing? We're getting conflicting advice from salespeople -- about all they'll agree on is that the Motorola RAZR phones suck for battery life, which puts them out of the running.
