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.

I pay 2/3 of your amount for unlimited texts, unlimited data, and around the same minutes with tmobile

Ok, so I just decided to get a smartphone for my birthday next week. I ran to Verizon in the last half hour just for shits n giggles. I grabbed an employee and began talking over smart phones.

Palms - Palm OS very streamlined, good multiple email intigration, yet again, keyboard for 13 year old girls.

Microsoft OS - Business upfront, play in the back

Android OS - Play upfront, business in the back

After sitting and playing with all of those phones that you mentioned, there really is no choice. It is the Eris. Especially with the Eris' upgrade to Android 2.1. Coming in second would be the Palm. I think the Ally drops to third because it is very boring. The qwerty keyboard is fantastic, but other than that, it is very uninspiring. Beasically, the salesman said that the Ally is targeted as an entry level smartphone. And I'm not going to deny that when Android 2.1 is trying to run through a 600 Mhz processor. And the design is very "early 2000's"... doesnt give me a phone bone like the other Androids do. In last place would be the Samsung. I love the design of the phone, and the swipe texting, but the salesman shot me down real fast. He said he would never ever recommend that phone to ANYBODY. He says contrary to almost all Samsung phones, this thing is a giagantic pile of shit. Tons of problems. Too bad, because I really like the thing.
