So i got a notification email today from T-Mobile that my cell phone upgrade is 'available' should i wish to upgrade my phone.
I kind of would like to get a newer cell phone as im actually kinda tiring of my touchscreen Behold.
That being said, would you suggest going with a Blackberry or a Nexus?
I really dont know a lot about cell phones from a users perspective, so any info/advice you could share on this would be appreciated :)

Are you tired of the phone, or the touch screen aspect?
If you're still cool with the touchscreen, I'd recommend the MyTouch / Android phone, I love it.

To be honest its the touchscreen im more bored with, that and the fact that after a little over a year its all scratched to fuck lol
All i want is something i can take pics/movies with, check email and send text messages and use the interweb.

Heh.
Well, I don't have much help then. I had my Razr phone for years and years, and only just upgraded about four months ago. I love it, though but the touch screen is still throwing me for a loop - not having buttons that 'click' and that I can feel is trippy.
Good luck, though. ;-)
iPhone - there is no other choice!
get it unlocked, without contract at: http://www.importgsm.com/product.php...0&cat=0&page=1
I got my first iPhone in June 2007 and the upgrade in October 2009.
Serves me very well. I especially like the GPS feature - except that unlike a compass, the screen doesn't know which direction - N-E-W-S - you are headed, and therefore does not orient the screen as such. I've gone the wrong way a couple of times, because the screen is drawn with North at the top, even though I might be walking south.
Last summer when I went to Poland/Germany/Belgium, ATT had no "vacation" rate option, so I paid the $65/mo for 3 months but didn't use it. In planning for my UK trip, I've now learned that ATT now has a $10/month vacation rate for up to 6 months.
As for the current Verizon/ATT ad war regarding 3G coverage area, I have not had a problem in LA, Las Vegas, Denver, Minneapolis, Seattle.
I'm hoping that when I get to UK I can just swap SIMs, hopefully not a new phone, even though the recent upgrade was $99.
I would have to say that I'm an iPhone guy too. I'm totally hooked. Poeple are using crackberries for poeple who are in love with their blackberries. They should come with a neologism for iPhone affectionados.
Ditto... Get an iPhone. If you see yourself as a geek, the android is an option.Quote:

tons of dropped calls, crappy signal strength even in major cities, spotty service while on freeways between cities, only so so customer service, idiots working in stores who don't have a clue what the hell they are talking about, and lots of system busy messages.
My service in UK and Vietnam was better than what I get at home. Just don't use data outside the US unless you are prepared for a very expensive bill.
The phone is awesome! GPS, e-mail, tons of aps, a guy I met in Las vegas gets his CCBill stats on his i-phone (though I haven't figured that one out yet), blue tooth connects with my car stereo for hands free calls and streaming music, holds thousands of MP3s, and LOTS of games to play.
I love my iphone but I hated the fact that I could not make one call cause of ATT crap service. I am now with Verizon and love it... I have the Motorola Droid which is a good phone with lots of apps as well... No Grindr though ..
Well i just found out a couple of days ago that T-Mobile will end up having a Windows based phone in a few months so im actually going to hold off on the upgrade until then and pick up this phone for my new toy...
