Cell phones?

Okay, so I'm due for an upgrade from AT&T (Hallelujah!). Upgrades always sneak up on me, because it seems like just yesterday I got my Blackberry Curve 8310. In light of this, I'm going to do a quick review of the BB and post a couple of cheapie PDA's that I'm considering for my new phone.

Blackberry Curve 8310

Pros:

-Customizable! You can change menus, ringtones, backgrounds, colors, EVERYTHING. There are tons of free themes out there from great designers such as Nancy Drew, etc.
-Kitchen sink phone. It will do everything but buy your groceries. Facebook, Twitter, email, messenger, text, mms, video, photo, audio notes, internet, etc.

Cons:

-Freezes. A lot. I've read a lot of reviews about this and experienced it first hand. If you don't do daily maintenance (delete messages, clean memory, etc), you will want to kick this phone. It once took me five minutes to get my phone to clear the unlock screen.
-Plastic casing scratches easily. I didn't have this phone for a week before I had two bad nicks in it. And I babied this sucker.
-I have a lot of errors. Not sure what's up with that, but I get a lot of "uncaught exceptions." No bueno.

Overall:

I love the Blackberry brand. This is my second BB, and I would probably get one again...Provided I could upgrade to the Bold or Tour.


What am I switching to?

The Nokia E71X is a steel frame construction, super slim dynamo. It is currently the thinnest qwerty smartphone available, according to CNET. I wasn't originally sold on this baby, but after doing some extensive research, I'm super psyched to get this sucker tomorrow! It is also one of the cheapest available to me at $29.00!

Features:

Wifi, music player, camera, qwerty, GPS, etc etc. I'm most excited about the Wifi and the very sturdy casing. Can't wait to use this baby!!!
