    Help What shall I get...

    My company is replacing phones - I currently have the BlackBerry Bold 9700 and it's ok

    The replacement options are:
    Blackberry Bold 9900
    Blackberry Torch 9810
    iPhone 4-16Gb
    HTC Desire HD
    Samsung Fascinate 4G

    Anyone have any opinion which is better than the others?

    I was leaning towards the HTC - but the battery life may be an issue

    thanks in advance

    Thanks to Goofy for my sig

    Bottom 2 as well, and I like that my nephew's HTC is virtually indestructable...he gave me his old one when he upgraded...I don't use it as a phone, but as a Wi-Fi device and even doing just that, it's feature-packed. So, I'd lean towards the HTC.

    Reminds me



    I personally can't imagine using a touch-screen phone for work. Writing emails would stink and as a company phone you may not even be able to enjoy fun aps anyways?

    I'd chose the Bold 9900. It has a touchscreen and full keyboard in a very thin candybar design (11mm thick!!). Really cool phone. Battery life is excellent on Blackberry's too I've always found. My old Bold only gets charged a couple times a week and I'm on it all day checking mail and texting.

    as for typing on a touch screen - i have been told that you get use to it and it's not that bad. I do type quite a bit currently on my BB. As for apps - I can do what I want - I just have to pay for it

    Thanks to Goofy for my sig
