My Motorola Q started blinking the Verizon logo and now when I try to reflash it, it won't take the flash. It's pretty beat anyway so I'm assuming it is done for. Luckily I saved my pim.vol when I upgraded it in March so I have most of my contacts kinda-backed up (although it's gonna be a pain to transfer them).
Anyway, I'll need to get a new phone and I don't follow the phone/gadget world at all. I mostly use it for phone and text functions but I'd love to have one I can use for email/forum and tether to my laptop. I like the form factor of this one but I do like the touch screens on a lot of the new ones. The iPhone seems okay but is missing some stuff that I like to have, and seems too locked down for my taste. I'm okay with Palm or Windows Mobile and don't plan to use it too much like a computer, but there's no sense in getting something too limited either.
Anyone have suggestions for me? I am not against switching providers either, no particular loyalty to Verizon and if I get an internet plan I'll probably be paying more than I want to.
Thanks.
