My biggest issue with my BB is screen size. I have the 8900/curve.

Still pisses me off that Verizon forces you to get a data plan with every damn phone that does something other than make calls.
Yes i know you can just buy it for full price but what idiot spends that amount of cash for a phone?

If you are suggesting just using hotspots, well..............I can't see myself spending $400 for a non-contracted phone and not being able to use its features unless I'm in a hotspot.

I'm surrounded by hotspots.
When I checked the phones available for my contract renewal...even camera phones needed a data plan? Keyboard? data plan. Color screen? data plan.
music player? data plan..

Probably makes more sense to just keep my old lg ( I don't even know the model. Its 2 years old and has a keyboard) and pick up an iTouch.
I'm not much of phone hound I guess. I use maybe 10 minutes a month and send about 10 texts.

Just go with Sprint. They use Verizon towers. It's all good, sucka.

The Bold 9000 has a nice size screen. That's one reason I went for it.

Yes, it does... it's just too big for my hands. I look like a 5 year old playing with my parents' toys

Pretty sure when I get home I'm ditching my BB flip and going with a plain old "dumb" phone.

ALL of Verizon's towers? Seems hard to believe

And is that for voice service, data, or both?
