Whatever you do stay away from all LG and the Blackberry Storm!

Anything else and you can't go wrong

you ever had a wm touch screen phone before?

if not, i sugest you borrow, one for a day, and see if you can get on with it? before comiting to one for 12 / 18months.

They are great, but not for everyone!


currently using a touch pro ( as i like a real keyboard option )

HTC Touch HD is the way forward, you have to geek them up to get the best from them but its work it.

I use Google maps for GPS. Seems to work fine and has free traffic info.
