I just got a nokia E71x. It's like a blackberry at 1/3 the price, had built in wifi so if you hit a hotspot, you can surf the net WITHOUT any data plan in place! You also get awesome reception, without dropped calls(reserving judgement on that until I've used it more, but so far it's got no dead zones), and it's easy to use, has a full keyboard, lots of functions! Best of all, no $30 a month in order for it to work like an iPhone.

I thought about the iPhone, but the extra $30 a month just so it'll work, and the poor reception, made it a "no-go". The VU was the 2nd choice, but this nokia has better reception, and actual KEYS to hit, rather than the smooth screen.

So far, I'm quite pleased, and I rarely like anything new. Right now, I just have to get the dangle attached to the corner of it, and it'll be complete.
