Which Phone?

Ok So my Sony Ericsson c902 has packed in and I need a new phone. I am stuck between the iPhone 3gs, HTC HD2 or a blackberry. I am totally lost, what do you guys recommend? I want to be able to browse the web, not overly fussed in pics and I want something which is easy and reliable to use.

I would say out of those choices, i'd get the iPhone 3GS.

The Blackberry offers nothing over the other 2. Well maybe a slightly better battery life. It's biggest feature is push e-mail, but if you get mobile me or have a gmail or that, you can get that on the iPhone. Also the BlackBerry App World is mince. It doesn't have much, and is expensive too. And the iPhone and the HD2 have much better, larger screens.

Never used an HTC HD2, but i am not a fan of WinMo, and AFAIK WinMo 6.5 is just the same old Windows CE reskinned yet again.

Don't let the idea of a physical keyboard on a blackberry be a decider, as the iPhone in portrait mode (and likely the HD2) is excellent, and a lot easier to type on than a BlackBerry (i have an 8900 for work). And the iPhone as superb auto correction compared to other phones.

Give the HTC Hero a look too. Got mine last week and I really love it, it's fantastic.

the iphone "keyboard" is awful to use.. thats why i went for a blackberry bold.

There are lots of free apps for the blackberry

my advice would be to try a few in a shop .. other peoples thoughts are irrelevant if you dont like the phone they are recommending..

Dated hardware though. I love Android but until beefier units come along the iPhone is (just) the better. I really couldn't get on with the HD2.

I find the iPhone keyboard the best out of the iPhone, Hero and the 8900.

But again, it is personal preference.

I really am drawn to the HD2, the iPhone is just too expensive at the moment.
