I like the qwerty physical keyboards but I live religiously by the SureType keys on my Storm. I had a 7100, then a Pearl, and now the Storm. Most of the executives at my company now use SureType as well cause it takes them less time to type things out.

Full keyboard, 3.2 megapixel camera, $15/month unlimited internet  
3 inch touch-screen that has a feel to it when you touch buttons

any enV phone does not compare to a BB or other smart phones.

I’m debaiting on picking up either the touch pro…the tour…or wait a little and pick up the new BB storm when they release it

came in to post this. i got mine right when it came out after waiting almost a year after my renew every 2 came up. its a very solid phone, and about the only complaint i have is the battery life is a little sub-par. but im sure they will fix it like they did with the Lg dare.

I was looking at the casio C721. water dust shock resistant. 5.1 megapixel camera  
small flip unlike the massive bolder.

I hear horrible battery life though

You, sir, have just described the LG Dare. Good phone, good browser/email with relatively inexpensive data plan, optional full keyboard, and a 3.2 megapixel camera. And it’s full touchscreen, so your technology penis will be absolutely huge.

EDIT: Now I see that you have already purchased a non-Dare phone. As per my signature, I feel that I should point this out.

Verizon adds a service charge for smart phones like BBs and stuff like that
