New Phone?
OK folks I'm sure someone has asked this, but I really don't give a shit....

I'm due for an upgrade on my phone, and I'm not sure what I want.
I'm a Verizon user, and have the choice between the Android/Blackberry/IPhone4 platforms
My Choices HERE

I currently using a Blackberry Curve, and like that platform.

I think the only thing I'm leery of is the pure touch screen phones, as I prefer a keyboard. But I guess I'm open to suggestions.

So lets here what the voice of the people have to say.... Educate me



**EDIT** Well I ended up buying the DROID X

For all those who have been expressing love for the Evo on Sprint - and for those who have Verizon - on Feb 28th (unofficial) the HTC Thunderbolt will be released on Verizon. This is essentially the Evo, but better.

No, that's Sprint. T-Mobile does have a large screen phone like it though. I believe its a Windows phone.

I know a number of people with it & they love it. That is also because the Iphone just became available in this market when AT&T took over Alltell, and Verizon is just not getting them also.

My only concern really is the Battery life with the Android phones.

But I have another week or so before I make the switch, so I'll keeping debating.
Actually, Verizon bought out Alltel.

This is the current rumor... I cut Apple some slack and split the difference between the expected release (July) and the rumor(September) and made my prediction of August...

So far.. There is no announcement either way from Apple.. so ALL of it is just guesswork... you could be waiting until December for a new iPhone5 for all we know. (my money is on last week of July or first week of August)

Meh, my money is on it being launched at the same time it has been every other year. Apple is generally pretty good about product launch consistency, despite rumor sites (which are usually wrong) predicting otherwise.

Which is still the last week of June or early July... one month earlier than my prediction but still a LONG way off at this point... 4 months to be exact

Apparently, you have to download Google Voice and a VOIP app (like Sipdroid) to make it work.

Google Voice just masks phone numbers, the VOIP app is what uses the data plan to make calls instead of the plan minutes.
