What Phone Part II

First of all I am extremly happy with my I-Phone 3G. I ended up picking up the 16GB White Version, and I could not be happier. The only thing that I feel is lacking are 2 things:
1. A Keyboard, I have to type on the screen and I have big fingers.. Kinda hard to do.
2. Cannot replace Battery, I cannot buy a extra, and if you use your I-Phone the way I do, almost like a 2nd portable computer when I am away from my computer, it would help if I was able to “HOT SWAP” a battery if I am away from a plug.
These are minor though, I can deal with them, and really I have found I have adapted to things I never thought I would. I do feel there is a new paradigm being built here with phones, which are more and more becoming “Portable Computers”.
But, I digress, and will leave that for a nother “TECH” article.
The reason I am writing this, I have to get my wife a new phone in December. Since she is a Nurse, she needs some med info, really good web browsing etc on her phone. The thing about the I-Phone it is not really the best for her line of work, plus she hates not having a keyboard.
So we are back to trying to figure out which phone to get. Since I know the I-Phone is out, it will probably be the new Google “Android” phone or the Blackberry Bold. The Blackberry will be going on sale tomorrow finally, and if you remember, this was the phone I wanted in the first place, and is supposedly going to be very nice.
The Andoid is itself a 1st Generation phone, works like a I-Phone but has a Keyboard.
IF any of you out there have either phone in the next few days, please email me @ admin1@corpsman.com, I would love to hear what you think, I would like to post the replies on here if possible as well, especially with this down market.
