Im a sell phone whore, I have a new one every 2 months. I recently sold my Nokia N95 8G and my Blackberry Curve. I'm leaning towards the Blackberry Bold, any other suggestions?

What do you want to use it for?

Browsing the web? Email? Texting? Video? Music?

I just bought the Dare and got away from the PDA devices... Had the Curve, Treo, Pearl and the Q...I didn't use half the features they come with... I usually have my lap-top with me so didn't need all the do-dads...

Most cell phones will support POP email accounts now and also support video... Most also have MP3 capability

I was looking for a phone with a QUERY keyboard because I do send alot of text messages...

The Voyager is a cool phone if you like to type on actual buttons... The screen is big and it has some decent features...

The DARE is a bit newer and has some better feature upgrades... 3.2MP camera... Slow motion video... 3G Qualcomm CDMA network... Browser is ok... Not great but does the trick

I only use the berry. Always have, always will. Everything else just sucks.

The dare looks cool, but I'd like something with a qwerty keyboard and fast internet. Plus isnt LG all tri-band? which is a no no for me. I'm thinking of purchasing the bold next week! My Nokia N95 8G was great, but not completely compatable with the BMW. Hopefully the bold will fulfill my dreams and desires! LoL

Get the new 3G iPhone I have used the first gen iPhone, N95, E90, E61i, 8600 Luna, 8800 Sirocco, Blackberry Curves (corporate) in the past months and still preferred the iPhone over the other devices. The iPhone and BB works great with our BMW as well
