Hello,
I've been considering for a few weeks getting a new phone. I currently have the Samsung Vice on Virgin Mobile but I would really like a smartphone that could help me get more organized with my school. I need something that has great reception (I live in a basement) and is fast since I don't have much time to check my mail and such in the morning before school.
I've spent a ton of time researching this and I've found a few phones I like and watched a ton of reviews on them. I've looked all over these forums for information on these phones and I can see each have their ups and downs. I really like the Palm Pre with the keyboard and the OS however the HTC hero has a very nice UI but I'm a little weary of the on screen keyboard since I text a ton and need to type in appointments and such quickly. I've also heard it is slow and is bugged. Lastly the HTC TP2 seems like a great phone. I'm not a huge fan of the interface but it seems to be functional and I like the big keyboard.
I do have an ipod touch so I know what an iphone can do and it's good but I want something different. This is a big investment for me since I'd be going on a contract with one of the big 3 who I've heard good and day about. I had phones with Telus and Rogers before and I had no issues. Also I've looked into the plans from all 3 and it seems like I'll be looking for about $65 with a nationwide my5 and data and possibly vm+vd+extra texting. Bell right now would have the best with having all that but their saf ruins it big time. Also the pre doesn't seem to work on the network and I'd prefer to have an HSPA+ phone.
I'm trying to find out any information I can on these phones and anything that anyone can say will help.
Thanks.
