I live in Denton, TX (about 30 minutes north of Dallas/Ft. Worth) and I am currently on a two year contract with AT&T which expires on this 28th of this month.
I've been eyeballing a lot of phones, especially the HTC Touch Pro which sadly is going to Sprint, I believe. However, as nice as that phone would be to have, it might be overkill for what I require. As well informed I consider myself to be with computers, I completely lack with cell phones. So I guess I have a couple of questions.
1) Which phone(s) would be right for me
2) Anybody recommend another carrier? I haven't minded AT&T so far.
Here is what I plan to use my phone for:
GPS, Google Maps, online browsing (google search, wikipedia, banking, ect.) checking email.
Things I'd like in my phone:
I'd like a slide-out QWERTY keyboard if possible. Although I like how HTC Touch would give you a landscape touch keyboard for texting. I don't need a camera on it at all, although it's fairly common so at the very least the quality of the camera doesn't need to be great. A decent sized screen a larger resolution if possible.
Basically I want a phone that is easy to use, can do all of the above, and has a decent price and data plan. For me, the iPhone 3G prices are too rich for my blood. I'm hoping to spend no more than $50ish for my data plan and texting.
I extremely appreciate any help or input whatsoever. I'm not lazy, I have used google to look up a lot of phones and their specifications. But despite my research, I still feel like I don't know what I'm looking for and would appreciate some direction.
