Help a techno-dummy re: phones

wannabemomma

Sorry as I know thistype of question gets asked alot here...I have read through the recent posts and gotten some information but...

My husband and I both need phones with email/internet...we use Verizon since I get a discount through work.  I am clueless as to what phones/devices are the best as far as reliability/durability/service,etc.  I also don't want/need to have the newest most expensive ones (though my husband will disagree)  Can you make some recomendations?

my first blackberry was the best phone I ever had....the Curve 8330

I am currently using the BB Tour and don't like it nearly as well

I have the Tour, and I really like it...but it is my first BB, so I have nothing to compare it to.  They still offer the Curve 8330, and you could get them pretty cheap.  They also have a new Curve, which would be more expensive, although it depends on what kind of upgrade discount you are up for.  If you want to spend more money, the Droid is another option...but for Verizon, I think a BB is the way to go.

I'm a blackberry user too. I had the curve and recently upgraded to the tour. So far, I'm really enjoying it the Tour. It's 3g capable where as the curve is not.

I got a purple curve this week and am in love love LOVE.

I assume it's 3g capeable because there's a 3g icon next to the signal indicator.

i know the old curve which is what i had wasn't 3g.

Have you gone to a Verizon store yet to play with any of their phones?  As I've said in another thread, it doesn't matter how reliable/durable/etc a phone is if you can't use it.
