I currently have a BB Tour and it is ok...however I can't stand browsing the internet on the small screen I can barely read..
I use a phone for a phone to make calls but also want Facebook access and light use on the internet but since I have to keep home internet to actually read things I look up what is a good phone?

What you have now should be good for light Internet use, but the Storm would be slightly better, and the Droid would be the creme of the crop.

I've had most of these phones, and didn't feel like the Internet was truly usable until the Storm.

For Internet surfing, the Droid makes the Storm look like it's back on Mobile Web 1.0. I often sit next to my wife on the couch - she's on the laptop, and I'm on the Droid. We've been on the same sites with little difference between us.

If what you've got now isn't cutting it, the Storm or Droid would be my suggested "next step."

My point wasn't exactly clear. I can go to most of the same websites as my laptop with little problem.

I use the Storm and my wife has the Tour. If you're OK with the rendering and speed on the Tour, you may just have a problem with the browser font size and can save yourself a bunch of cash by just changing the font size on your Tour instead of buying a knew handset.

Open the Browser>Hit BB Key> Options> General Properties> change Minimum and Default font size settings
