My parents have T-Mobile and I'm okay with it but the only T-Mobile phone with Windows Mobile that has a touch screen and keyboard is the T-Mobile Wing, which I heard is kinda slow, so I'm open to Verizon, but not Sprint because Consumer Reports says that T-Mobile is better then Sprint and Verizon is better then T-Mobile. I'm looking for a phone that has a keyboard (probably qwerky) that has Windows Mobile and isn't too expensive. Thanks in advance!
Oh and by the way this is Knightsofwar, I used to post here years ago. :)

Well, I guess it is depending upon how much your parents love you....
I am a T-Mobile customer, having been shifted over from Suncom, a SE regional carrier that they bought. I bought (about 6 weeks ago) a Palm Treo Pro. All that I had to do was pull the SIM card out of my old phone (a Palm 680) and insert into the new phone. All went well.
The Palm Treo Pro has Windows Mobile 6.1 (and has a QWERTY keyboard, as have all of the Palm phones since the 600). Palm has tweaked the WM 6.1 OS a bit and is an enjoyable introduction by me to that WM OS, having had a Palm OS all this time.
All the info on this UNLOCKED GSM phone (which means that you could switch to another GSM carrier--Only At&T in the USA--or use it with another SIM card in Scotland as I did...or any other place in Europe, I believe.)
Go to
Palm.com : Shop : Treo Pro for more information. There you will see why I started off saying that it depends on how much your parents love you....it is $549! (I got mine through Dell.com with a $100 savings in November 2008.)
Good luck on your search!
