I currently have a 3 year old black berry.. hate it. My contract with AT&T is up... however, my wife is on my plan and he has a year left; so I'm probably stuck with AT&T. I really like the Windows Phone 7.. but all those phones are 6 months old... I haven't heard of any new phones coming for it.. I also am liking the Samsung Galaxy S 2... but no release date yet. I'm pretty much just asking what is a good smartphone to get because my dropped and broke into a hundred pieces... need some advice on a good phone!

In my humble opinion, the worst thing someone can do is to buy a brand new item, specially when it comes to technology. I never get the latest technology, because I'm dam sure it will be overpriced for little improvement over the past generation or so.

I value nothing on my current phone. It sucks. No internet, keyboard sucks, screen is terrible.. anything would be better. What I want most is internet surfing and Netflix/Hulu+ be available on it.

Htc range great phones, froyo creates some battery problems, but tweak a bit an its fine. For a smart phone, your not expecting a great battery. Samsung again great, about the same battery, clunky interface. Lg recent products have had a lot of problems and crashes, also you can't trust them when they say they will release an up date. Iphone. Do i need to say anything ? Good but imo, not for the premium you pay compared to the competition. Blackberry, great usability, old os / specs. Very behind. Only really new things is the dual core processors in them. I would recommend an htc since they seem the most leveled out with pros and cons or samsung. Note: if you get an htc with sense 2.0 you will be able to track your phone if it is stolen and lock it, wipe all the data on it. it can be backed up when synced. Can also call your phone if you lose it :) Can't comment on other makes, had no experience with their new stuff. Lg optimus 2x = dual core Htc sensation 4g = dual core, i think :P And the new samsung you like.

the HTC Sensation should be released soon, it is a fantastic smartphone ive seen the reviews for it, research some videos. www.engadget.com has great reviews on all good smartpphones. Really all of the HTC range is good, the features they have are great and they are instant responding touch screens. They run one of the latest Android OS and trust me are really great. Im hoping to get it when it comes out, so give it a look (:

Are you wanting to stay with AT&T or are you open to other providers? If so, check out the HTC EVO 3D.

You don't want to buy a windows 7 phone which you like because it's 6 months old...? WOW

What you think? Soon as they come out with a new phone your phone going to be 101% useless?

With phones though you're stuck in a 2 year contract. Always buy the best phone you can. The price difference will be minimal over the 2 years because all smartphones on a carrier take the same plans. Also, the current crop of high end phones are dual cores compared to the last gen single cores. They provide a sizable improvement in performance.

If you want something now get a Motorola Atrix 4G.

I have a Samsung Captivate (Galaxy 1) and love it. Definitely recommend it or wait for the Galaxy S2.

Far better than the iPhone 3GS I chose before it. Absolutely hated everything about that phone, especially its poor battery life and screen was hard to see outside. None of those problems apply to my Captivate. Plus its media players are way better (and sound better too.)

Get the iPhone 4 or switch to Verizon and get a Droid 2. Once you have one of these you will NEVER go back.
