Default New phone time again

What's the best phone to have at the moment?

I was looking at the Blackberry Curve as I'd like to have Internet access etc but I'm not too sure.

Has anyone got one?

Any other suggestions people?

I recently got a HTC touch pro 2, and its so good, internet brousing is fast and as full as you can get on a mobile, the built in gps locks real quick runing tomtom.

free on an 18 month £35 T-mobile contract, 700 mins , unlimited text and net

It really depends what you want it for. For me, actual phone calls aren't first priority. A PROPER net browser (not watered down mobile net) was a must, aswell as HTML rich email. I love my iPhone. Sure there is some stuff I don't have, but I just don't miss things like bluetooth transfer as wifi and email (and of course, official MMS now) are just as easy to use...

I've never wanted Internet on phone before but I wouldn't mind having it now

So, a slim-ish sort of phone with Internet browsing & a decent camera would be great (I don't want much)

Oh & I'm with Orange so I don't think I've got as much choice as I would have with say O2 but I'd like to stay with Orange as they do me a good deal every year IE, 1800 any network anytime minutes, unlimited text messages & free video calling for £35 pm.

N97 For me too. The best phone I've ever owned. As I type now it's making me some toast. It has a full sized keyboard too.
