AG help me buy a new phone

[GodlikeRoy]

I've had the same phone for about 3 years, and when I got it, it was like 2 years old. Basically it's a ridiculously old phone and all I use it for is to make phone calls and sms people (that's TEXT people for you Americans).

I've been wanting to get a new phone for well over a year but have been a) too lazy and b) unable to decide what I want.

I basically just want a phone that'll let me check my e-mails wherever I am and be like a mini-organiser. What's really important is that it's easy to type long messages on. My current phone has some sort of delay where if you try to type a message too fast it skips some letters which can be a real pain. I'm guessing most new phones won't have this flaw, though, so I'm looking for opinions on whether to get a standard style phone (ie abc, def, ghi) or a blackberry style phone (qwerty) or a full keypad.

I've been looking at the Nokia N95 8gb edition: .

This seems like a bit of overkill for what I want but a few of my friends have it and I don't know much about what other phones are out there which is why I've been looking at it.

Also the blackberry Pearl, Curve and 8800 series (all here: ). These look pretty cool and professional but I'd be interested in hearing what people have to think about them.

Thoughts/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

blackberry's are solid...have one for my work phone.

have a palm treo for my personal phone


older version of the 700p...good for txting and appointments. i think i prefer it to the blackberry just b/c i dont use all the "capabilities" of the blackberry.
