Okay I've posed this question in the past. I am looking for the latest and greatest of these 3 and have kind of leaned toward the blackberry for verizon. Here is the thing the idea of having an all touch phone is not really what i'm after but the thing looks awesome. can someone give me an idea as to what to lean towards.

First off, this is ultimately a choice that you have to make for yourself through research and testing out each model to see if it fits your needs.

Second, if you dont want an all touch screen phone, X the dare off of your list. My friend just got it and its cool, but I still prefer my curve.

Third, the curve is better than the centro in my opinion, but if you dont need/want to pay for instant email access then maybe I would look more closely at the centro

I would choose the Blackberry Curve! I have it and it is very sleek and nice looking and works amazing! Blackberrys are the way to go and hope you decide on this phone!

It comes down to what you're unsing the phone for. Will it be for business, pleasure, or 50/50 split? Will you be using it for email?
Even for a you intend to use it as a pleasure device, I'd go with the Curve. After a 7130, 8703, and now a 8830, I've come to accept the BB OS and interface as the most reliable available. I also loved my Treo 650 (I guess I was one of about 5 people worldwide who had no problems with it). The Palm has a wonderful calender, though the BB's can be set up and operated well, too. Reception strength and battery life are nods in the BB's direction. My biggest gripe about the Centro is its size-to-functionality ratio.

It will be mainly used for pleasure. A friend of mine who works for Verizon is telling me that the Palm is the way to go. I just want something that I can get on the internet with and actually use the net for what its intended for. Also battery life is something I really need cause my LG 8600 doesnt stay charged at all so thats a plus. No business use on this end but I am hearing I can set it up so I can have my personal email sent there. I am elegible for an early upgrade at the NE2 discount plus I get an additional $50 off so I am definately going to get the BB. Lastly.....Does anyone have an idea as to how much I might be paying a month?
