    I'm leaning towards the Samsung, with the Nokia in second.

    I'm open to other suggestions as well, it basically just needs a QWERTY keyboard and not too bulky.

    Thanks.

    iPhone. Everything else is weak in comparison.

    Don't get a cell phone. They're a menace.

    Nokia is usually pretty good. I have been out of the cell phone game for a while though. I don't know.

    My wife has one of the new 3G iPhones. It is nice - but if I am going to be bothered with a phone that is not tiny - it has to have a real, honest keyboard.

    I had an iPhone before, and I rarely used the internet or anything that comes with the data plan, so now I don't buy the data plan, or else I would get an iPhone.

    I'm thinking about getting a Blackberry Pearl. I've heard they are great little phones but they don't have the full keyboard you're looking for.

    Kind of hard to hide that you're talking on that thing while driving your car.

    The BlackBerry BOLD is the best "phone", hands down...while the iPhone wins for the best "gadget"!!!

    Blackberry Tour.

    Kind of a blend between the Bold and the Curve.

    If e-mail is important, Blackberry handles it better than anyone on phones. The Tour is a world phone, has a beautiful hi-res screen, a fantastic keyboard, and Verizon service - which is far superior to AT&T, which is the biggest problem of the Bold and the iPhone.

    The biggest drawback of the Tour is no wi-fi.

    It's a freaking underground mug. Cars and subways are not mutually exclusive. It's not like the thugs on the Studebaker payroll will go smash his knee because he has an underground mug.
