Guys -
Need some help, I am in the process of considering getting a new cell phone, but this time I want one w/ FULL internet capability. I am finding myself more and more as of late wanting / needing access to the internet outside of either the house or work when on the go. My BIGGEST thing is a want FULL internet access / capability above all else. What I mean by this is come companies like my (AT&T Wireless /Cingular) have phones they say can do e-mail and get on "their" network of sites and things, but that's IT. :( I spend most of my time on either bulletin boards (like the 'Tank or on AO-Hell (AOL ) reading my e-mail and I want the ability to get to those boards and AOL, or any other site I want or need too (CNN, Mapquest, ect). I'd like a decent sized screen (my eyes are starting to go now at 37) and full keyboard (sorry, guess I'm too old to be dexterous enough to "text" - I've tried it on my Razor and it just pisses me off ). I'm not too picky on brands, but I don't want some POS, and sorry to Mr. Job's fans, but I DON'T do Apple either. :( Any suggestions / help would be appreciated. I know I'd be better off just getting an internet access card and slapping it in my laptop, but I am after comfort and portability here. With two 4 year olds we are constantly on the go, and lugging another big piece of hardware around w/ us is just not in the cards. Thanks! PS - Don't care about cameras, video ability, music players or any of that other crap either, just GOOD internet capability to get to bulletin boards and the net!

Well I rarely use the camera, but for dull internet I haven't seen anything that beats the iphone. YouTube, sync with my webmail.
Play with one and you'll be hooked. Do all of my hisstank surfing and transactions on it. LOVE IT |

The guy at the AT&T store showed me some other similar to the iphone, but I was not as familar w/ them as I was the iphone name - that's why I am asking?

I use an AT&T Tilt which uses Windows Mobile. IE and Outlook Express come standard and it works great as a PDA. Never had any problems. Had it for about a year and only locked up once or twice, requiring a hard restart. It has a full qwerty keyboard. Some people don't like it because of the weight, but it's basically a small computer. Word, Excel, notepad, etc.

LOL @ pauljohnson75
That was going to be my suggestion only for the fact That it is the same phone i have.. However for simplicity you might want to look at a blackberry curve or world editon both are suitable choices if you get the opera mini browser or skyfire for it.. And honestly - the blackberry will have you pulling your hairout a lot less - you need to be on the geeky side to want the fustrations of a PPC like the Touch Pro |

PS - I don't use MS Outlook or any other MS messaging / email, just AOL. Thanks!

Not sure if you still want help, but if I were you I would get the new blackberry storm. My friends said it was a really good phone. I am not totally sure though.
