Which smartphone should i choose? Verizon?

Question:

I have a chance to upgrade my phone this month and I am really looking forward to getting a phone with more high end features. Specifically the Blackberry Curve 8530, Blackberry Tour, HTC Eris, or the Blackberry Storm 2. I have been using the G'zone for a year now so I want something that can be fairly sturdy if I drop it. Also, I have to keep up with emails when I travel and want something easy to use because of my limited experience with smartphones. My fingers are also a little bit "big" so I need something that's easier to type with or get accustomed to quickly

The prices are:

Curve-$30

Tour-$100

Eris-$80

Storm 2-$180

So if you believe the Tour and curve are pretty much the same but can save me 50 dollars then please say so but I'll take any other suggestions for Verizon. Thank you.

Answer:

If you do international traveling than your going to want either the tour or the storm 2 because they are international quad band phones that will work on any network internationally.



The tour does not have built in wifi though, the storm 2 does.



If you need international travel, id go for the storm 2 as it has a few more features and the new touch screen on it is quite nice.



If you don't need to travel internationally, eris will most likely give you the best experience. The open software on the android phones are great and give near unlimited capabilities to the phones.



If you could afford it bumping up to the Motorola Droid will give you an even more amazing experience and the option of a keyboard and a virtual touch screen, the moto droid would also have the biggest keys of any keyboard of any of these phones.



Sorry I couldn't explain a little more but I am getting kind of tired lol.



Basically I'd say look at either the storm 2 or the eris and if you start leaning more towards the eris see if you can afford the Moto droid because its basically a beefed up version of the Eris with some extra features. If you want any extra information too feel free to contact me
