Help me decide which phone to get. I like the keyboard on the Blackberry, I like the OS on the Droid and iPhone. I hate the touch pad on the iPhone for typing.

Motorola Droid

Check it out. DROID by Motorola is fast. Like scary fast. You can blaze across the Web with a massive processor and Verizon’s powerful 3G network. You don’t even need to type! With Google Search™ by Voice, you just tell it what you want and DROID searches the Web to find it. You can switch between up to six apps at once! Choose a few (or a few hundred) from Android Market™ and try it yourself. DROID won’t bother you while you’re running those apps. It keeps disruptive alerts at bay in a handy expandable notification panel.
It’s a pint–sized power plant. It’s location–aware. Voice–recognizing. App–mashing and multi–tasking. It can see through walls. And connect you to anyone or anything at break–neck speed. At some point, power and intelligence mean something more than a phone. At some point, you have yourself a DROID by Motorola.

I use a blackberry for work email but that's about it. It's web browser is kind of clunky.

I love my iPhone. Period. Out of the box it's a nice phone/mp3 player/smart phone but with a few apps, this thing is a power house. (Here's some: Apple - Web apps - All Categories).

To really help you, what exactly are you looking for in a phone? Business? Versatility?

I don't know much about the Motorola Droid.

I like the Blackberry's keyboard simplicity.

Droid is too new.

There is also the Samsung BlackJacks and LG has some nice phones as well.

What ever happened to Ericson and Nokia...who were leaders not to long ago. I have a Sony Walkman W810.

Remember the Matrix back in 99? Neo's spring loaded Nokia cell in that movie was all the rave but Nokia never released such a product. Since that movie, Nokia's popularity has dwindled. Coincedence??

Just got the Motorola Droid. Preparing to post a review sometime this week. Its browser is 10x more capable than Blackberry's.
