I hear ya!!!

I did the same exact same thing (buying without researching, then being stuck with it). I suspect there are many of us out there doing just that.
I have a Razor with T-Mobile. Everybody had one and seemed pretty happy with it, so I got one. I didn't like it when I first got it, thought I would get used to it, and never did. So, suggestions from other people may be one step in the right direction but no subsitute for your own research

did you try

www.cnet.com to research the phones?

www.consumerreports.org has an article about the different carriers:

If you are locked into a contract with Verizon, then you just need to research the phones.

PC Word had a comprensive article on how to buy a cell phone, don't know if that helps you any.

Best I can do. Best of luck!! I'm doing the same thing myself right now, actually, and I find that deciding which cell / smart phone to get is a damn pain in the butt!
