Heyo, I'm buying a new phone

I'm thinking of a blackberry, but what do you guys think is a really good smartphone i should think of buying.

And I say no to the iphone no matter what.

I need something with Wifi, and has full qwerty keyboard capability, whether its touchscreen or not, makes no difference

I was personally leaning to get a bberry Curve, because its cheap and has all that.

What are your opinions :o

if browsing/apps is your primary use case, get a droid that has a flip-out keyboard on it. the bb/hybrid droid is decent too, but probably not as good as the droids with the slideout keyboards (like the droid 2).

if email/IM/texting is your primary use case, then get a bb. but i'd say this with reservations still, since really... the state of the art has moved to non-bb smartphones these days, and you won't benefit from all the cool stuff that developers are making for iOS/Android if you go that route.

Get a iPhone 4s and jailbreak it. No other phone even competes with it. If you get an android your phone will be out-of-date In a weeks time.

And if you get an iPhone 4s 3 days later they'll release an iPhone 4sl which is 0.2% thinner and 50% more pretentious.

Any smart phone you get is still going to be a nice smart phone within a year. Personally? I really like how the Sprint Galaxy S2 looks.
