Phone contract is up, what to get now? iPhone, Palm Pre, HTC Touch Pro2?

[cw42]

This is paid from work. These seem to be my three best options. I'm in NYC, so i'm wary of the not so good service by ATT here if I choose the iphone. Ideas, advice, suggestions?

Other options are HTC Pure, Nokia e71, Palm Pro, Samsung Omnia, HTC Imagio. Unfortunately, no Android phones.

Hmm a little disappointing there's no android phones but I'm sure you can't complain about the price since work is paying for it. Anything in particular you're looking for in a device? Want multitasking? Multimedia? Like/dislike a particular OS?

 

[vshah]

oops, didn't see the last bit from those i would take the TP2 or Pre, in that order

 

[blackangst1]

I would take TP2 from that list.

What is your useage model for your phone? For me I left Verizon's network once and despite their expensiveness I'm not doing it again so personally if I was you I'd get a Pre Plus or a Droid (HD2 and iPhone are great but I don't think you can get them on Verizon).
I'm Running on a Droid right now and absolutely love it but really it depends on what you'll be using your phone for.

If you can handle a few extra ounces and size get a htc touch pro 2,I have the t-mobile version and love it..:awe:

i throw a vote for palm pre, i love mine.

Palm Pre

 

[boomhower]

Pre Plus if you can. TP2 or regular Pre is a toss up.

too bad for no android phones - nexus one is coming out soon for verizon. i would get the pre plus. forget windows mobile 6.5 phones, its crap unless you are in dire need of exchange. nokia e71 is good, but crippled by att (the unlocked version is much better).

Wow, not many votes for an iphone huh? I'd like to have a good music player so I don't need to carry my Nano on my commute every day. I have an HTC Touch, so i'm used to the virtual keyboard. I've def had a strong dislike for Windows Mobile (and the TP2 is too hefty imo), so I think the debate would be between the Pre and Iphone.

Iphone if u can live with att. No idea what it is like in nyC.

oh you didnt specify an iphone. if you can get one, then by all means go for it. its the best all around device on att.

a vote for the Palm Pre here!

 

[deputc26]

Really we need more information about what you want from both phone and network to give the best answer and we also need to know how tech savvy (you're posting here so assume pretty savvy) you are etc.

 

[Rottie]

get an iphone and you can unlock with jailbreak and go with tmobile if you can live without 3G in NYC.

 

[randomlinh]

Palm Pre! Although, I still find it a bit slow, and Android 2 would probably win out.. but my vote is Pre->iPhone->TP2

 

[smitbret]

I have a few buddies with the Palm Pre and if T-mobile were offering one, I would have gotten that. They operate so smoothly. So, I vote Pre.

You want android? Get the touchpro2. With a bit of work android can be ported onto it. Stability may be a bit of an issues though, as the port is still in its early stages.

HTC TP2 for my vote.. never liked my Iphone for many reasons, biggest being no keyboard.. The Pre lost out the first time I picked it up.. Seemed very cheaply built.
