tracfone Samsung t404g vs lg 500g

I'm considering a new phone once again.  My current phone is still working fine, but I'd like a keyboard for texting.  I don't need any other smart phone features.

The two phones I'm considering are the Samsung t404g and the lg 500g.
Samsung t404g:
pros:

• Longer battery life (7 hrs talking, 14 days standby)
• slider
• triple minutes for life.   The triple minutes pays for itself after buying 1000 minutes (pre trippling).  So for me, it would be about 2 years.
• slightly smaller than the lg500g
• 2 mp camera and video recorder

cons:

• heavier (4.55 oz)
• not a lot of reviews
• cost $60

Lg 500g
pros:

• lighter (2.93 oz), this is less than my current flip phone
• generally favorable reviews 
• cheaper ($20-30  depending on where you buy)

cons:

• shorter battery life (5 hrs talking, 9 days standby)
• keys more exposed
• 1.5 mp camera (doesn't really matter, still better than my current phone)

Pros to either phone:

• takes video and better pictures
• takes a microsd card so I can actually get pictures off my cell phone
• has a texting keyboard
• plays mp3s (don't really care, but it couldn't hurt)

Cons to either phone:

• Screen isn't protected like my current flip phone.
• larger than my current flip phone (I carry my phone in my front pocket)

I ended up getting the Samsung t404g.  My review is here.
