Android for sure, I have the HTC G2 and it great. It has a flip out keyboard and great battery life, way longer than the HTC My Touch. + free ballistic app...

[Ronin13]

I'd have to say the best bang for your buck now-a-days, and you can do much more than the iSuck: Motorolla Droid X2, you can watch YouTube and any other type of video on it, download music, pictures, upload pictures and record video in HD, 8MP camera, battery on any smart phone could be better but charge every night and you'll do fine. Also it has bluetooth, GPS, and WIFI, all enable/disable to save battery when you don't need it. Overall, I'd say the best smart phone. Did I mention, any android powered phone has most of it's apps free? I have a ballistic computer for my Droid X (I want the X2) that works. It does so much, talk to the Verizon guys and they'll show you. HTC is good, but they are way fragile and I've heard battery life is pretty terrible, even for a smart phone.

Ive got the Droid X on Verizon. I love it, the signal, battery life, HD Video and pics, easy to use. I recommend it, and it crushes friends iphones on head to head downloads. Droid ftw! [Coffee]

Thanks for posting the question HBAR. I have the "original" Motorola Droid, which was the phone to have a couple years ago, but is now starting to show its age. The phone is now having a hard time mounting the SD card, along with the headphone jack not connecting properly. I use my phone for music and taking pics, as much as any other function, so this puts a huge damper on things lol. I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to stay with a Droid platform, or try out the Iphone 4. Looking forward to some more input.

[ghettodub]

I have a droid incredible, and I think it's my favourite phone to day (even over my former iPhone, and moto droid)

[rondog]

Just wait a couple weeks, there'll be some other new, whiz-bang phone to lust after. I personally don't have the patience or brain-power to mess with 'em. To me, phones are for talking on. Life as a geezer.....

[hurley842002]

And that is what I do the least of on mine. I have the smallest number of minutes that Verizon offers, and probably only use 2% of them lol. If you listen to a lot of music, share media, get online a lot etc. There is no reason not to own a smart phone. Doesn't make sense to have a "data device" and then a separate phone, just because phones are strictly for talking on. If you don't do anything other than talking on the phone, then by all means, may as well keep it simple/cheap.

Ah yep.

I have a base model Nokia with a camera. The only reason it has a camera is because there wasn't one without a camera.

The SO is in the process of getting another Iphone. The AT&T site has refurb Iphones for half price. She loves hers and it has lasted pretty well.

I am no fan of AT&T but if you want any kind of reception, in the mountains, it's the only way to go.

I switched to Verizon for that reason, it has better service in Evergreen/Conifer than AT&T. I was getting calls dropped and hitting dead zones all the time, now with the big V I'm having 3G almost everywhere I go!

Iphone. The rest are just pretenders.

Absolutely! Sure it has some shortcomings but all phones do. I could rant for twenty minutes on the problems with Droids but won't start a fight here :). I replaced all of the phones in all my companies with iPhones and haven't looked back.

hmmmm.... Never thought you could ever get your V card back.....

If your gunna join the "i" crowd just make sure its Verizon the service is so much better, personally I would get a 4g phone from them, the newest tech and fastest out there, just fyi I do half my post from my DROID x

iPhone is the one. If you can wait a month or two or three, rumors are the next iPhone is comming out. If you want to save as much cash as possible the iPhone 3gs is only $49.99 and a very nice phone. iPhone 4 is $99+ depending on the memory. Plus the monthly charges.

[Monky]

And you haven't worn it out yet? Wow!

For sure go with Verizon.. I know you live in the boonies.. so pretty much no cell phones reach you, but you got some signal thing from ATT... iirc.

Sadly, my poor phone gets traumatized anytime the boss is with me.. his ATT iPhone drops so many calls.. he uses mine... which is on Verizon. Has yet to drop a call on him.

I had a Moto Droid.. and I dropped it. So now I'm using the Droid incredible..and while the phone is pretty sweet and fast.. the battery isn't such a hot item. During heavy use..it's on the charger by noon. If I can't charge it.. it's dead by 2pm..

On the weekends it lasts me all day usually...the Moto Droid never had that issue till about 9pm at night on a heavy use day.

[spleify]

Yep iPhone for me also

[ray1970]

I'm on my second Blackberry. That being said, my next phone will likely be a Droid or Iphone of some sort. I would guess my phone usage is probably 10% talk and 90% data/text.

[BigNick73]

I've got a Casio Commando and like it, if you're due for an upgrade check around on the net you can get em for $20. $200 at the verizon store

[cfortune]

I have the HTC Evo 3D. I'm a pretty big fan of it. But I'm kind of an android fanboy due to all the custom roms and open source development that goes on with them. Its great for geeking out but all those shooting apps sound pretty awesome. I'm going to dig around the market.

Also, amazon has an android app store that gives away an app that normally costs money for free every day.

The only person that needs a cell phone is a needy pansy ass....

I'm on Sprint, so HTC EVO 4G. When I was on VZW, I went from BB Storm ---> Droid ---> Droid X. Each one sucked a little less than the previous.

Then I switched to Sprint and saw the light. (and about $40 less per month in service charges)

[DOC]

I know the ipod touch 4g does just about everything the iphone 4 does. except make calls.
So it is just like the Iphone... lol
Get the Samsung Enfuse if your company carries them. AT&T I know does for sure. I just got one for the little woman and I have to say that right now its a tier 1 phone. And it didn't cost her a dime because she had an upgrade coming.
Good luck in your search though no matter what you decide on.

[Dr_Fwd]

Android phone.

[kwando]

There are still talks about a new iPhone coming out soon, i'd wait a little longer to see if that is true. Would suck to get a iPhone 4 when a 4GS or 5 will be released shortly.

If you really need a new phone check ebay or CL and find a cheap basic phone to hold you over.

BTW - Nothing beats iPhone. You are familiar with it, you already love the touch, can't go wrong with an iPhone.

My iPhone's treated me good but I'm considering going with the droid since it's a slightly shittier version of what I already have along with flash capabilities. I wouldn't even consider it but I'm a little pissed that apple won't buy into adobe so I'm willing to make the sacrifice.

Not that I like the iphone at all. But I heard that for the ipad you can DL flash and it will run on the ipad. Maybe, you can do the same thing with the iphone. Just saying.

As much as I hate Flash I would hate not having it even more. Glad I rock Android. [Flower]
