is there such a phone? I'm with t-mobile and well i had the dash and didn't like the small buttons. I had the MDA and didn't like the slide out keypad. But i love the feel and form of the BB curve, i just dont like the BB interface. I think the Windows mobile platform is more solid and has a lot of options in terms of software, well actually i think its endless options.

I mainly web browse (ebay, craigslist, couple of forums) i do a little email but no idea what PUSH email is nor do i have a interest in it at the moment. I know the BB is more then capiable of doing that but I dont know if the platform has room to expand...

HTC S621/630?
BlackJack?
MotoQh
HP910
These are off top of my head, and I know I-mate just released some new phones in that form as well.

I think you should look at the s60 3rd edition Nokia e61i if you mainly want to surf the web. You'll have the two best browsers to surf with, 3rd ed. And opera mini beta. The phone doesn't have US 3g, but it has wifi and mini beta performance over EDGE is very very good. Also the phone looks slick as hell and is just, great.

as far as the wm camp, i would be eyeing the Q9h.

edit: the e61i is also blackberry and ms exchange capable as well. As well as having excellent battery life.

i have the curve in my hands right now for maybe a week. How does the e61i compare in terms of fit and finish in one's hands. I love the fit and finish of this curve. The OS isn't really to my likings at this point. Very confusing, s60 makes me feel at home.

edit: i just googled e61i and a BIG no no for me right now is pop-port i hate it, they should of stoped it when they had it for the 6200/6230. but i shall consider it slightly mainly due to the s60.

as far as a HTC s621 it looks like a dash to me. like i mentioned i disliked the tiny keys on it. I was not getting anywhere typing on that cramped spaces. the blackjack was a dislike due to wifi, i'm eyeballing the phones coming out soon tho.
