Which should I get?
Well, the wife just bought herself a Blackberry Pearl (it's a "cute" phone, she says), and I"m really liking the "convergedness" she has now with it. Translation: I'm wanting a smartphone myself, now!
I get my upgrade w/ ATT in January, and I"m trying to do my homework on their smartphones. So far, I like the Blackberry Curve and 8525 the best (even though I'll have to luck out w/ a refurb on the 8525 now). Does anyone have any suggestions on which phones to look closer at or stay away from? Any and all help appreciated.

If you are on AT&T check out the Tilt.

The Tilt looks great, but I probably won't be able to swing $300 for the phone.

Ah. I can understand that problem. In that case, the refurb 8525 looks really nice. I know several people who have been very happy with the 8525.

I love my 8525 and you should be able to get a refurbed one for $200 or less

Don't updrade trough AT@T, got to Amazon instead.
You will be able to upgrade (with 2 Year contract - but that's the same as with AT@T) after 22 month (or 10 month) and you can get Tilt (new) for $175
Good luck

What about the Blackjack? Has that smartphone fallen from grace?

I forgot about that one!

I'd really rather stay w/ a WM smartphone vs. a Blackberry, so I guess I'll keep that one in mind, too. But there is the MOTO Q, too. That one has WM6. :drool:
