HTC !! GET THE DAMN HTC !!!



This phone is a babe, you can check facebook, emails, twitter and every possible thing. It has Wifi too so you don't have to pay for data if you are on campus, the camera is awesome and the keyboard is great too.

Basically, if I had the money I would get this phone.

Its beautiful.
I don't need any of that crap, but its definately nice
Tons of disk space, good mp3 capabilities, gmail, nice texting, large capacity for saved messages, and a good, supported OS... anything else is great.

I'll get into a store when I can.. anyone know a good place to do that, like the Rogers store or what? I'd really like to play around with something instead of seeing these dead store models..

Thanks for the suggestions by the way.

Where is there a store I can look at the phone while its turned on, instead of the 'off' models sitting on racks?

Either you're on an incredibly fast secret wireless network or you meant GB, and if you meant GB then you also meant 16GB because the iPhone doesn't come in 14GB.

Best way to test out phones is this.

Pick a plan that will be able to fit your needs.

Go to store pick up a phone. All company have a standard 15 days return (assuming you use less than like 30 minutes of talk time or something). Play around with it. Don't like it? Exchange it or return it (Keep in mind of possible restocking fee).

Any capacitive screen cheri, any capacitive screen. Most of the Android phones have the same tech too.

Then again you can get it unlocked and head over to Rogers. Though it will cost you some good pennies.

What is your budget anyhow RyanC?

I don't want to buy your phones, lol. xD

I want to get something new and top of the line so I don't be put in this dilemma again in 6 months when I get envious of all the new thingies.

Budget = effectively unlimited but I don't want to spend over 200$, since I'm looking to get a contract and whatnot.

We're about to get a wave of new androids (packed with dual core chips) and the iPhone 5 will be out in about 6 months. This is the worst time of year to get a new phone.
