I need a new phone, I have one of those Sony Ericsson W580i's, which btw is a pos phone. I mean there is some good, but the fugly huge proprietary jack and the stupid proprietary headphones & memory card make me want to kill Sony. What else is new. Its at the end of its lifespan. So I'm on AT&T, until Verizon gets an Android phone, I'm not even thinking of switching. I don't mind signing the 2-yr to get a good price. Might be my last contract renewal but whatever. I don't want a fucking iPhone, I hate them, I hate apple, but AT&T has been hell bent on selling me one since it came out. I need a QWERTY keyboard in the worst way though, fucking texting is unavoidable these days. So I've got two options which is two more then I had 5 months ago. The Pantech Matrix ($130 w/ $50 MIR)Which is the improved duo, which was basically the phone they did for Helio but different. The duo scored well with wired for what that's worth.or The HTC Fuze ($350 w/ $50 MIR)Which from some quick google searches seems to be a phone that some people were looking forward too. Its way too fucking expensive I think, but it does look slick. So anyone know anyone with either of these? Or have a phone review site they trust? All of them seem so bootleg and who fucking cares what CNET thinks about anything amirite? TIA. |

After having 2 WinMo phones for a good while and switching to Android, I suggest you tough it out and wait for Android. Sorry pal, phones in the US suck.

^ I disagree in general about AT&T's phones sucking though. They have a nicer selection than everyone else. Sprint's is pretty abysmal for a company that large. T-Mobile has some cool things, I guess, but not better than AT&T as a whole. |

I know some of the hardware looks interesting, but avoid Windows Mobile devices if you plan on reading and writing a lot of SMS's or emails. I really wanted to love my last HTC, but after two hardware exchanges, I gave up.
If you really hate iPhones, go with a Blackberry. Not sure about the Bold, but the 88xx and 83xx series units were quite good based on my brief experiences with them.

I'm wondering now if he even wants a smartphone. Maybe that Pantech is the right choice, if you just want something basic and with a slideout. And don't want another Sony.

Always check Amazon prices first. They have the HTC Fuze for $174.99. What about the HTC Tilt? Free after rebate. |
