What kind of smart phone do you have?

OK, what'd ya get?

As for the keyboard on the HTC Hero, it does take a little getting used to. But considering that my last phone required "morse code" to type text messages (y'know, to type 'howdy' you have to type '44 666 9 3 999') it is still a lot easier. Sure, my son's phone with a keyboard is quicker, especially considering he can type with his two thumbs faster than I can with all ten of my fingers (but on my phone I hunt 'n peck with one finger); but the Hero is an improvement for me.

And I still love that I can have Dean Martin's Ain't That A Kick In The Head? as the ringtone when my wife calls!

Cheers! M2

Sorry

Although, that's my plan B. In California, we have 30 days to return the phone and cancel the contract (other states, 14 days only). So if the BB doesn't work out, I could always send it back, pay a small restocking fee, and get the Google phone instead, but then the plan rates are a little higher, or if I want to keep my plan, I'd have to buy the phone right out. Plenty of time to think about that.

PS Don't kick the BB until you try it ;)

Seriously, according to CNET it is one of the TOP 5 phones right now (others are iPhone 3GS, Motorola Droid, Nexus One, and something else, I forget.) Most sites gives this particular BB many thumbs up (except for the browser)

See, having the BB now allows me to function and do what I need to do on the go, while I can now take my time and keep my eyes open for what's coming in the market in the next year or so.

It is possible to get out of the contract early, so it's not a death sentence or anything
