Strange choices when you do not list the best.
Where is EVO or are you being specific to your local carrier?

None of the above.

GZone Rock. Built to military standards for dust and water. It is a phone. I have laptops and tablets that take care of other information needs.

Wait till you pass 55 and 3rd or 4th pair of glasses. Your eyes will hate you for using those small screens and the arthritis in your thumbs will always be there. Well except for Condo. He will have an app to take care of those issues.... Now if they only made female apps he would be in 7th heaven....

Forget the app as I will by the premium software in that case.

Go with the IPhone, all the rest of the phones are copycats of the IPhone. Why do you think they copied the IPhone? It remains the dominator in the market.

I vote for my BlackBerry Storm. My only other choice was the Iphone, but after seeing both in action, I'll keep my Storm.

If you like boring, go with the IPhone. If you like to customize and personalize the phone, go with an Android OS.

Ditto. The Casio is a great PHONE. Water proof, practically indestructible.

I'm too busy earning money to answer texts about what I had for lunch and do all that other crap. And since I don't keep up with people I don't like on Facebook all day long, my plan thankfully does not cost $70 per month.

Wow, Blackberry didn't even make the list.
I use mine for email, texting, Facebook, the odd web surfing and pictures, and well, as a phone
My Bold 9700 keeps me happy.

With the exception of surfing, I can do all that with my old Razor

If you believe in what the commercials say... The i-phone is the only phone you can talk and surf at the same time, if that's important to you.

Not true at all as I surf and use apps while on the EVO .
Great for my on the job app that allows me to add to the Google calendar while on the phone with a client and take audio or text notes all at the same time plus you can even take pictures and add them.
