I currently have a blackberry curve and I am looking to upgrade. My curve is not broken or anything so I am in no hurry. I have been looking at the new phones and they seem to do a lot more than my curve does. LOL
Answer
I have had several Blackberry phones over the last 2 years. Started with the Curve 8830 and fell in love with it! Since then I have had the Tour, Storm, and Storm 2. I LOVED my Storm 2, but when my brother got a Droid, I had to return my Storm 2 for the Droid. It is an AWESOME phone. It is totally customizable and has push email for Gmail or other email (except Yahoo unless you pay Yahoo's fee to be able to port your email). The App Store has tons of Apps for anything from games to photo editing to a flashlight (which BB also has a flashlight app). The drawbacks are the thing about Yahoo email and the slide-out keypad sucks on the Droid. Even tho the keypad on the Storm was a virtual qwerty keypad, I liked it MUCH better than the Droid's keypad.
At times I really miss my Storm 2, but there is just so much more available on the Droid that I try to suffer through the terrible keypad usage daily.
As far as the upgrade goes, there are a few new phones coming out on Verizon next year, including the Palm Pre (which I am personally going to have to try out), the BB Tour 2, and a couple of other Android phones which don't seem like they are going to overpower the Droid.
I can't tell you which way to go because I am constantly on the fence about phones (friends call me the eBay queen because that's where I get most of my phones). The browser is excellent on the Droid and is just okay on the Storm 2 as far as the speed goes. I guess you just have to decide which is more important to you. Like I say, I debate on selling my Droid even tho I really like it and getting a Storm 2 every day, so I may be of no help! I may just have to face facts that I am a Crackberry addict for life! Hahaha!

What smart phone should I get?
Q. Hi,
I am Canadian and we have the following cellular networks in my area: Rogers, Fido, telus, bell, wind mobile, virgin, koodo, and I think that's it) and I am getting a new phone on August 8 because my 2 year term is up. I had a lg neon and hated it! I like the windows 7 phones and the bb torch. I don't want to pay over $100 for a phone on a 2 or 3 year term. I use gmail and Facebook also if that helps. And I want to be able to simply take a pic then upload it to Facebook. I want to hear what u think of the phones I like and what u would suggest.
Thanks!!!

Answer
I would suggest a Windows Phone 7. Blackberry is an old OS which is getting very slow and has no apps. Windows Phone 7 is a new OS, which still means its growing, but is wonderful. This phone is great for ANYTHING Facebook. All WP7's (Windows Phoen 7's) are required to have a hardware button to go straight to camera click this take a pic, tap on the "..." icon tap share and then Facebook. Nothing else to do. No Facebook app needed, nothing. It even has deeper integration. When you enter in all your contacts it'll ask you if you want to link the contacts to Facebook. If you select yes, all there Facebook data will be avaible right on the contact card. The contact photo will always be up to date with the profile pic of that person on Facebook. You can view all their Facebook photos with a slide to the right and in the People Hub (Contacts) you can slide to the right and see the What's New pivot (WP7's different "tabs" are called pivots) and see check-ins, wall updates for all your contacts that are linked up to Facebook. You can comment and like and even update your Status. In the Photos Hub you can view your Camera Roll photos and all the photo's you have uploaded to Facebook just like they were native. You can do all this without a Facebook app. The Facebook integration is getting even deeper in the next update coming in the Fall codenamed Mango. You can chat with a contact in the Texting App via text, Facebook or Windows Live. You can easily change between services. You will also be able to check in to different places right from the People Hub. You can do all this without a need for a Facebook app. Of course a Facebook app is also avaible for download in the Marketplace. I can go on to say how you can edit Word/Powerpoint/Excel Documents right from the phone or earn gamerpoints and edit your avatar if you use/have XBOX Live. Or I could talk about the awesome Music + Video playback on the phone. But I will let you do some research yourself.
