    Default A new phone

    Hey guys, I'm considering getting myself a new mobile phone. iPhone is not an option. I hate those apple products. I have a blacberry bold 9700 right now, and I'm seriously looking into the Android phones. However, there are so many of them, I'm not sure which one to go for. Would you recommend an Android phone?

    I personally love my mates Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. They run on Android.

    I wouldn't recommend any phone from Sony Ericsson. Man they break all the time.

    If you're not going for an iPhone, go for HTC. Presuming you want a smartphone.

    Here in Australia they were rated the most hardy phones in the country a few years ago. They are one of the longest lasting brands.

    I love my Droid X. It's such a nice phone. Mind you it's my first smart phone, but it's still really nice. I have absolutely no problems with it and can do everything I expected out of a smart phone. And the Android Marketplace is getting to be pretty good nowdays.

    I definitely want a smart phone. Right now, I'm looking at either HTC or Motorola Droid X. I just don't know enough about Android to really make a decision.

    Wait for Windows 7 phones to be released I think next month.

    Not saying you have to or at even should get it, but they look good and will give you another option in the smartphone category other than android or blackberry.

    I'd get an HTC Evo or an HTC Incredible. I have an iPhone and after researching about those two phones I've concluded that they can do everything an iPhone can plus more. One problem is that their marketplace is not very good to be honest. (but I think it's just getting started) Plus, you'll save $ on your contracts with verizon rather than AT&T.

    Thanks for the answers guys. Unfortunately, Canada seems to be getting everything later than everyone else, so I will have to wait for an Android phone.

    Stick with Blackberry. The new OS6 (I think it's called) is a huge improvement over the one in the Curve. If you guys are getting the Torch, it's well worth waiting for.

    Well I have a Blackberry Bold 9700 right now. Will they get the upgrade? Blackberry should be quite updated in Canada, unlike the Android phones which Canada lag behind quite badly.

    I'm not up on the Canadian market but the Torch is pretty new, released within the past couple of months in the US. It does have the updated OS also with an emphasis on web browsing, new app system (similar to what Apple has but without the draconic approval system of Apple) and multimedia experience. It looks and feels very nice too.
