I remember a time when a cellphone was just something I use for calling people, but times have changed. With the LG eNV phone I currently have, I've really started abusing using the notepad, the calendar, the web browser, and ofcourse text messaging, and it's because the phone has a real QWERTY keyboard to use. I never really bothered using any programs in my previous phones that required text inputs before, because I've never been a big fan of typing using the T9 method (text on 9 keys). So although I'm pretty happy with what I've been able to use my cellphone for, it's honestly not quite perfect for me yet. The web browser doesn't use true HTML, I can't really efficiently transfer notepad and calendar data to my PC, and the eNV has the habit of turning off on it's own for some reason I'm not sure of.
So these past months, I've pretty much been looking for what my next
cellphone is going to be, since I'm due for an upgrade very soon. Since the eNV is only sort of like a smartphone (as is the LG Voyager and the LG Dare), I think it's time I really go the next step and get a "true" smartphone. The iPhone would have been the obvious upgrade, but I'm not willing to go to AT&T since I'm a Verizon subscriber. So what does that really leave me with? Verizon has a good line of Blackberry phones, but they've never really appealed to me. Looks like that's changing though, because pretty soon their true "iPhone-type" cellphone will be released, and that's the "Blackberry Storm." Final details (like price) hasn't been released yet as of my writing this, but I'm starting to get pretty excited about this upcoming new smartphone. It's looking like a strong possibility that I'm going to end up with that thing they call a "crack-berry" in a few months from now.
