Depends what you want out of it.

I use blackberry's (work and personal) and for email and telephone, they are top class as designed items. The 9000 Bold is shite (had 5 handsets last year) but the storm 2 is pretty good.

The only dealings i had with HTC is with the T-Mobile MDA which is ok, but not a patch on the BB.

For a corporate tool, i couldnt be without a blackberry. For surfing and searching the net, it could be better but then, i have a laptop for that.





Kindest Regards,
Richard.

depends what you want really I have the desire and I think it's the best phone ever - better than the iphone even.

my wife however only does phone and texting and email so she likes the blackberry best

no idea on the nokia.

I'd avoid the Nokia, they're prone to crashing.....

HTC every time for me

Big decision is touch screen or keypad (qwerty or standard phone). I hate touch screen phones, I like to feel the buttons, hence I'm a blackberry user. The iphone, desire etc are all better for surfing, games and silly apps, but the bb is best for business and email use. Ihave the latest bold (after 2 curves), its excellent, better than the old curves regards build quality and feel, the OS is the same though. If I was due an renewal I'd be looking at the blackberry torch, full qwerty and touch screen so best of both (touch for suring, keypad for everything else. If you go for a BB, pick one with built in GPS and 3G, surfing on 2G is painful and the GPS is brilliant on google maps (as long as you have 3G)
