Get the HTC phone that is out I believe its called the Touch Pro but dont quote me on it.  It uses Mobile Windows and is better than iphone and having a touchscreen is better than the scrool wheel of the blackberrys.  

I myself have the AT&T tilt which is made by HTC and is the model that was sold before the Touch Pro or whatever it is called today.  Im dreading the day when my phone finally decided to cease functioning because in my opinion it is the perfect phone.  Between having touch screen, QWERTY keyboard, Mobile windows OS, and the ability to type up reports with Mobile Office and use the 1000s of third party software for the phone makes the phone nearly perfect.

That and the features of the windows phones is a lot better and all programs are free to download and install on the windows phones.  iPhone you have to pay for many of them.  Having a built in gps and you can download gps programs and some programs have the directions spoken to you like owning a real GPS without paying a dime extra to use the gps.  My favorite is the program that allows me to connect my laptop to the internet through my phone.

I hate apple and refuse to buy any of their products but that is just me.

I recently bought an iPhone 3GS. Like you I hate (well, more like seriously dislike) Apple and their business practices, however the phone that they have made is absolutely awesome. I might look into "jail breaking" it, but even if I don't I simply cannot not have this phone in my life... Even if Apple are complete dicks. It's sort of like the Germans... I don't much like them, but I love their cars.

This, except mine is a 3G and I love Germans, being of that ancestry. :D

I've give Apple props for the iPhone to a certain extent.  However, just like their PC's, any type of maintenance is to be done only through them (Apple/ATT).  I mean come on, lets design a phone heavily dependent on a battery and then make it not easily replaced by the average consumer?  The first gen was soldered to the circuit board while the newest is a pressure contact.  Unless you're good with electronics and want to void any type of warranty you had, you're not going to be able to replace it.  A buddy of mine at work just picked a 3GS and as much as he plays with it he's charging it at least twice a day.

From the technical side, Blackberry has more inherent security features for your high-use systems, email, browsing, legacy system connections

can you be more specific?

Do not listen to this man. I have a Samsung Intrepid. Windows Mobile 6.5. It doesn't get newer.

It's a terrible operating system for a phone. Unless you absolutely require Remote Desktop and Office Mobile for daily business, it's worthless.

I'm sure most Germans are nice, but I was thinking of their businessmen.

I use it in construction daily sending videos to subs of their stuff not being put together right. I go through 2 batteries, my Mophie JuicePack Air, and the iphone battery by the end of the day. N fact its so useful, i'm transitioning our office over to them from the Black berries. Im not a fan of apple by any stretch of the imagination, I think of them as vegetarians and Prius owners - both of whom I could beat the crap out of. But if there is an appliance that makes doing my job easier, the iphone would be it.

That are the top 3-4 things you want the phone for?

If you want it as a media or game platform web browsing ,Or just a random silly app. The iphone is the way to go

Battery life, blackberry messaging, texting or email I would go for the Iphone.

I have one of the android phones from Tmobile,  Some things I love some things I hate.  I am guessing they are all like that.

I dont see how your saying its terrible.  I absolutely love my phone and dreading the day that it finally craps the bed.  I will purchase a Windows phone again in the future just because of the experience I have with this phone.

HTC Touch HD

Bought one early this year, been a great business phone. Best of all it's unlocked I can travel between Aus,NZ and Bali and just stick in a local sim card. You can download an application and software for just about anything free. Big screen is great for movies,web etc.

Plus no apple tax. More specs then IPhone and it's cheaper.
