YouTube - iPhone 3G S Unveils New Application To Make Calls Unbeatable !

I am contractually obliged to say... Blackberry.

That said, the HTC's especially the Touch HD is a strong piece of kit.

Also have a look at the HTC Magic (Vodafone only I believe). Had mine for a week or so and love it dearly. Does everything I want and more.

Cheers

Definatly the Magic or Touch HD.

Do you want a hardware keyboard at all ?

Touch HD v Touch Pro 2
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3...&idPhone1=2525

Touch HD v Magic
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3...&idPhone1=2525

Magic is lower end really, but still very good.

Did you want Windows based or open to things like Samsung Omnia ?

tbh im not realy bothered about operating system, the one feature i did want was a qwerty keyboard, so think it'll have to be the touch pro 2.

only issue is where does contracts with them?

anyone know good places for contracts? currently o2, but not bothered if i switch tbh
