none because they ALL have replacements coming fairly soon that blow these ones away. not sure about the ozone, but i think its just a rehashed cdma tmobile dash, but definitely the storm2 and touch pro2.

I had a Touch Pro on Alltel and I thought the phone was very slow and lagged a lot. Very frustrating when you're trying to get stuff done quickly. I liked the browser on it....comparable to the Iphone (but still not as nice). I ended up selling the Touch Pro and dumping the smartphone package for a dumb phone.

Out of those I'd pick the Storm. BB's texting and email capability is superb. Adding to GSM compatibility, if you ever get tired of Verizon it's easy to have it unlocked and move to T-Mo or AT&T.

i already mentioned that the chances are the prices of these phones' replacements are going to be WAYY to expensive and out of my price range.

I think im gunna pull the trigger on the Touch Pro. That combined with custom ROMs and I think i'll be set. A hardware keyboard looks nice to me, and the screen size is appealing :)

I got to play with the Ozone and I wasn't impressed at all. It looked like it could be a competitor to a blackberry but falls short in almost every way except for the special email thingy they have on it. If you need one now get the Touch Pro.

it actually feels like a sucessor to a motorola q in some ways, just updated to WM6.

Anyways, I think I'm going to go for the HTC Touch pro, and then grab this ROM here:

People are reporting 2 FULL DAYS of battery life, which is AMAZING, plus mountains of programs and unlocked GPS thru Google maps.

All that makes the phone total win. Plus I love hacking phones. So why not? :D


Any other opinions? its 3 AM here so I'm going to order tmorrow morning.

I had the ozone, and just returned it. I would always get wierd crashes and random error messages. The storm isnt that great either. I just picked up the Blackberry Tour and Im loving it so far.
