Just wait for the HTC Dragon. Out of all the things I've heard about it, it's one he'll of a device (meaning it's a great device, spec wise though).
Yeah, but it all depends on what carrier it comes out for, some rumors are that it'll come out for verizon which means that I can't even unlock it to use it with T-mobile
Ah, I see your point. You probably don't know how bored you can get from an iPod touch if you have had it for 2 years (about to be 3).
Well I saw that the samsung Behold was just announced officially a few hours ago, and I like the hardware, not so much the software. That cube thing is ugly IMHO but I can just root the device and put on android 1.6 maybe with HTC's sense
Make sure you check the tech specs on any device you get. Looks are one thing, but if the Hardware is crap, might as well use it as a paperweight.
No tech specs are the one thing im concerned about, things in mind that I like are a good a camera, maybe a 5.0 megapixel, also a fast processor, and something that does not lag. Also a physical keyboard would be great, but I can survive without one.
*Cough* HTC Hero *Cough* Yes, make sure it has a fast processor and a decent amount of RAM. Also, don't worry too much about megapixels. They aren't a big deal unless you are printing things large scale. 2-5 MP really don't make a big difference. It's all about the sensor and most phones don't have that good of sensors. They are generally only good for quick snapshots which I assume is what you would use the camera for.
Go for an Android definitely! That's what I'm doing it's HTC Passion/Dragon or the Moto Droid for me!
