Well Verizon sucks for having CDMA network, you cannot import the phone you want....you are stuck with whatever they have on offer.

Since you said email, your real options are a qwerty phone or a large touchscreen one. So if they get the SG NOTE that would be one of the best options, followed by the Gnex.

On the qwerty side the only outstanding offer is the Samsung Stratosphere: LTE, rootable, unlocked bootloader
