My current phone kind of sucks. I use pre-paid minutes and it is kind of not economical when each text costs a minute. The vibrator is weak, and the ringer is so quiet. It doesn't have a full keyboard either. It just has to go. It is a t-mobile with a sim card in it, so does that mean if I get another t-mobile I can transfer all my contacts and use my same number and stuff? I am, however, willing to switch providers and have to use a new number if it is the best deal.
What I'm looking for:
Full keyboard (not touch keys)
plan that will allow me like 500 texts a month (in that range, I don't need too much)
50-100 minutes a month (I don't do too much talking
What I would really like but is not essential:
camera (doesn't have to be good, just needs to be able to take pictures)
What would be nice but not essential:
internet (this totally depends on the rate, I don't want to pay a whole bunch for it)
This phone should cost no more than $100, and that is pushing it. What provider/plan/phone combo should I go with? I heard verizon is good.
Edit: Virgin Mobile looks like they have some good deals, but is the company any good? It seems to be a bit smaller than the others. The phone selection looks a little slim.

Is this decent for national coverage? http://www.virginmobileusa.com/check-cell-phone-coverage
I checked the areas I'll be most of the time, and they are good to go, but it would be nice to know if I was traveling.
Edit again: It looks like t-mobile has much better coverage, and the $40 500 minute + unlimited text plan isn't bad, but the phones are sooo expensive.
