The really scary thing about "smartphones" is that they will soon become far more intelligent than a majority of their users.
This phone is smarter than most people:

I saw a CES preview on yahoo tech today- Apparently apple is coming out with the iPhone 2.0 in 2008, complete with 3G support. I'm still anti-iTunes and anti-Apple in general, but I thought that was nifty. Also read that RIM is purportedly developing a touchscreen blackberry, with 3.5G GSM, GPS, full internet and 1GB of built-in memory. I'll probably hold out for that bad boy!

I like my Motorola Q9m with Verizon, but I feel stupid for not being able to use all it's functions. Before I cut off my data plan, I liked using it for internet. What I do like is I can pretty much download anything, including flash players (youtube on the phone was neat). You can also download registry edit software, and I guess hack your phone (a friend of mine gets free GPS sometimes by messing with the registry), but that's too advanced for me.



I like the qwerty, the bluetooth, the MP3 abilities, and the mobile MS office stuff (excel, word). You can download/install nearly anything you would for a normal computer. Mini SD card slot can handle up to 8 gig.



Screen is glass though, I cracked the **** out of mine.

I spoke with a few smartphone owners and you're the first with a positive review of the moto Q.. I was also told to stay away from the samsung blackjack.

Well, I heard frustration with battery life, speaker quality, freezing... Basically that it was worthless.

I am into phones like my wife is into purses. I have had just about every GSM smartphone there is, even ones from Europe that aren't available here (O2, Vodaphone etc) I have used the Treo 750, iPhone unlocked on T-Mobile) and the Blackberry Curve (Gold ) I am using the Curve right now, and I don't really want to go back to the Palm or the iPhone. I do too much typing with text messages and emails to use the iPhone all the time. It is a cool phone, but not for people who really use their phone as a work tool. Before I got the Curve, I thought the Sidekick 2 and 3 had the best keyboards on any phone. I now like the Curves keyboard more than any other one I have used. I have a 2GB card in it to store pics and stuff. Camera works great, and has a flash which the iphone doesn't. I can also use the WiFi to make calls and not use my minutes unlike the iphone which has wifi but doesnt use it to make calls.



So my recommendation is the Curve from ATT, or the Curve from T-Mobile if you want the wifi calling option. I personally won't use ATT since I dont like them at all. T-Mobile is cheaper and better with service for me (hense the unlocked iphone )
