Well you really should check out some of the non-android phones. Android isn't all its cracked up to be. I bought the Motorola Backflip which is Droid based in... September? And I fucking hated it. It was sluggish and unresponsive and typing the letters happened about 7 - 15 seconds after the actual input into the keyboard. The market is not very expansive yet, but that's not a concern because it will continue to grow along with the fan base.
TL;DR - Stop playing the Android skin flute and look at the best phones in terms of hardware.
Motorola Atrix, Don't own it myself but id buy if i wasnt on contract.. a freaking phone that can be turned into a laptop...wtf why am i always unlucky..
