So my contract ends this month. I can pick pretty much any phone for free. I do mostly texting and have a u740 right now which i really like. But makes no sense to get the same phone again. I was looking at the env2 which is kinda like my phone but little better. Or the lg voyager. But its a little bulky to keep in my pocket and i dont want to get the outside screen scratched. Unliked the env and alias which keeps the inner screen protected while in the pocket.

Does anyone know if there are any new phones comming out in the next few months thats worth waiting for.

I really want the Blabkberry Pearl. Mainly because it has a music player and the QWERTY keyboard.

And if your worried about scratching ANY phone or iPod, etc., get an invisibleSHEILD. They are hell-a awesome. You can actually scratch it with a key and it wont leave a mark. :clap:

The Blackberry Curve is a lot better, I have one and I absolutely love it. Most of the time I use it I am surfing the internet

Are they going to be releasing the new Curve 8900 on Verizon? If so I would go with that one as the Curve 8320 is spectacular. The Bold is very nice as well however I found while using a buddies that the keys are too close together for my taste. The beauty of the BB is that the max size for sd capacity is mainly OS driven and right now it will handle at least 16gig, I have a someone that I work with that has ordered the 32 to see if the Curve will handle it which I believe that it will. To be honest with you I would stay away from Motorola as their antenna tech is not as good as others as well as battery life. The BB battery kicks ass

why?

The Omnia from Verizon is awesome, not too bulky. Its got a 5mp camera, a first to be seen through USA phone companies... ^_^ (correct me if I'm wrong)

I have Helio, looking forward to making the jump to Verizon possibly...

I have a BlackBerry Pearl and love it. Best cell phone in my opinion. Small enough, but still can do everything the larger blackberries can. :w00t:

I had the alias for 2 years, it was to much phone for what I need a cell phone for. So when my 2 years was up I got the Samsung Juke, and I love it, I have 20 full CDs on so far and it's just half full, plus I have it hooked up in my Yaris's aux plug. It has a camera and the "get it now" option.

It depends what you want to do on a cell phone, me I just want basic uses.

The Samsung Glyde is crap.

I have the EnV 2 and it's pretty sweet.
