    I absolutely love my Tmobil G1. Android operating system is the way to go IMO. I have a friend with a Motorola Cliq and a friend with the HTC Hero. I've tried them both and they are both really great. I tried the new "Droid" as well, but I was very disappointed with it. I prefer the Hero over the Cliq, but I still like my G1 best... :D

    If Keyboard is a must, get a G1 or Cliq. The Hero only has an onscreen keyboard. I think the G1 keyboard feels great. The Cliq's keyboard is very good as well.

    Hmm...looks interesting. Last time I had a Nokia, they dominated the market (it was a brick phone). I still have my 8320 Curve with Tmobile, but am thinking about switching to something else. From the pics, it doesn't look like the Nokia has a trackball, but rather a laptop mouse-touchpad thing. Is that the way it works?

    been playing around with it and its about as good as my previous bold for a fraction of the cost (only 50 bucks with rebate) I highly recommend it! not to mention its the slimmest PDA/Smartphone on the market and its all metal construction so its a good hefty feel

    I don't think I'll ever be able to use anything other than a Blackberry because of BBM.

    The thing is i just never used BBM, i have unlimited text and AIM on it so BBM is kinda obsolete for me. only a handful of people i know have a bb so i wasn't using it to its full potential

    Dump ATT get the droid.

    I've had it less than a week, it puts my blackberry to shame, and give the Iphone some things to aim for.

    Has a keyboard, I can read the screen with my old tired eyes...

    I dumped ATT last week when the dog ate my blackberry and ATT gave me the run around on the insurance I bought.

    They can go spit for the cancellation fee, GFL on that to them.
