My other buddy has the Eris. Relatively fast. Screen is responsive and bright. Of course no qwerty keyboard. He dropped it once while getting on his 636 and broke it..... pass.

Between the other two, its really what you are looking for. One has the qwerty and the other has the "swipe" texting. The LG phones are always known for reliability and durability. But recently I switched to the Samsung Rogue... which is basically the un-smartphone version of the Omnia, and I LOVE this fucking phone. Those WXGA amoled screens are fantastic.

swype is still in beta form, but it is available on their website, and it takes 2 seconds to put it on an eris. I have it on my mytouch and love it, its almost a perfect substitute for a hard keyboard, but it does make typing faster unless i dont swype over the right letters, then it never understnads the word you are going for

Yes, it being a pile of shit is a much better reason to be rid of it than water damage. Water damage will make the phone better because it will make you get rid of it faster.

Truth...

As far as broken screens on the Eris goes... I met a guy yesterday who had one and had a kickass case for it... dropped it hundreds of times, no problem. Dropped it once without the case, cracked screen... however, it still works.

I might just say fuck off to Verizon entirely the more I think about it. T-Mobile gets good coverage in the cities I'm most likely to be in... Vegas, Columbus, and here... Plus they don't mandate a fucking $30/mo charge for smartphone data plans... and with the phones with WiFi, I wouldn't need that shit most of the time anyway.

Right now I pay $150/mo for two Blackberry's which includes unlimited data and 250 text messages per phone... and only 700 minutes between the two.

You should check out Sprint. I'm most likely going to them in a few months when my ATT contract is up.

I hate Sprint and their service isn't the greatest in the places I am most likely to be...
