Look into the Sprint HTC evo, that thing is badass! I wasn't much into the internet or smart phones before, every other person I know has an iPhone and I would play with it but it never really grabbed my attention like this thing. The plan isn't that bad either, you just have to pay $10 extra a month for 4g, even though its not available like anywhere right now

Have you had a smart phone before? I vote for the iPhone. I had the 3G and now iPhone 4. The iPhone 4 is AMAZING. I am no Apple fanboy (I love PCs and hate Macbook's, huge gamer), anyways, the camera on the iPhone is so good and clear even under low light conditions. I take pictures of my diagrams/notes and I can read tiny words clearly on the phone. The display is so crisp and clean. The scrolling, button pressing, whatever is so smooth. There is barely any lag when opening apps or closing apps. My 3G had a huge lag issue, sometimes taking 3-4 seconds to open something. The iPhone 4's video is also very nice. I just recorded a 720p video and posted it up on youtube. THere are so many more apps for the iPhone, but honestly I'm not a big app guy, I just love the phone for the basics. I know you've probably heard this before, but once you have a smart phone, you probably won't go back to a regular phone. There is just so much you can do with it. And I'm talking about smart phones in general, I could compare prices with amazon when I'm shopping, seeing if an ink fits for my friend's printer at costco, find directions, find places to eat, and there are soooooo many other things you can with the tip of your fingers. What else...having a smart phone in general, I check my email often, look at the calender, ..etc. You can have your calendar's data pushed to your phone, meaning if you update it on google calednar, it will be in your phone in seconds without you doing anything. I'm sure other phones do the same thing, so that probably doesn't help. Yeah, I just loved my 3G and now REALLY loving my iPhone 4. There's a reason why everyone has one, and that's because it really is a great phone. Facetime is neat but I never use it becaues it's WiFi only, anyways, just paly with each of the phone and see what you're most comfortable with.

I'd wait for the windows phones coming out soon and see how they compare in reviews. I think Samsung should be carrying the OS in phones coming out this month.

Windows mobile has been and will forever be garbage.

Get the Droid-X and call it a day

Haha yea I've had 2 windows mobile phones and they were terrible. But I've been following this winphone 7 thing and some initial reviews from mobile sites like phonedog.com say it's a breath of fresh air from whats out right now.

the cheapest one out of them, trust me.

it is not worth buying a expensive *** phone because its only going to get *** and new ones always come out.

HTC EVO, it kills the iphone and perhaps the driod
