Orignally I had the LG Keybo, basically the same, just a bit blockier. But, the inside screen died, so I got the Keybo 2. I got it cause a. It was cheap b. I absolutely love a Qwerty keyboard for texting The Keybo 2 I've had for about 7-8 months now. The battery charges to full, and by the end of the day with minimal use, it's at 1 bar out of 4. So I decided, I'll get a new phone. I enjoy this phone, but I want a new one.
My 2 choices. I'm with Telus, in Canada. I was looking into the Droid 2/Milestone 2, but there isn't any date for when the Milestone 2 is supposed to come to Canada, and I haven't found anything saying it's here yet.
My reasons for choosing each: (Click on the name for a link to specs) Milesone: I loved the phone when it first came out, and I like heavier, bigger phones. It still has the Qwerty keyboard as well, plus a touch screen. It's very aesthetically pleasing. p_q Fascinate: When I first saw the Galaxy S series, I fell in love with the first one when I tried it out. It was so smooth and the interface was so gorgeous. But the phone is very light, and I'm not 100% sure about a complete touch screen phone, and i'm not sure about the texting.
Right now, price isn't an issue. I'm paying 50$ to cancel my contract, and start a new 3-year contract with the new phone. I believe the Milestone is $79.99 right now with a new 3 year contract, regularly $200. The Fascinate is $99.99 with a new 3 year contract, regularly $149.99. But like I said, price isn't an issue.
So, yeah. Just wondering if anyone has any opinions, more info about the phones themselves(if you have one)~ I will also take any suggestions about other phones as well.
I'll basically be using the phone for texting, very limited calling(I don't call very often, to be honest), facebooking, all that stuff. Maybe a few apps, I don't know. Basic phone use! I might put a few songs on it, maybe some videos, who knows~

Ugh! I know! x_______x
I post a status on facebook, and almost everyone said the Samsung Galaxy S. I'm just very iffy about a completely touch screen phone. So I needed more opinions. xP
I'm personally waiting for Galaxy S2 that will be released bit later this year. Dual-core processor for what I heard. Promo video was really nice, can't wait to get to test it out. ^^
But not seen anything about that Droid Milestone, going to look on it.
I personally have the Samsung Galaxy S Captivate through Rogers and I fracking love it. Personally I wasn't sure if I would be able to "enjoy" the 100% touch screen keyboard, especially since I have pretty bulky fingers but I've fallen in love with it and even typing on a physical qwerty keyboard feels like a chore. Obviously there's also features like Swype and such too if that's your cup of tea. Easiest way to find out though is to head over to a cellphone store or a display at Futureshop/etc and try them out yourself!
:D
edit: Also the drawings in the blog are a nice touch. Hahahaha.

By the time that happens you're ready for your upgrade....
The screen is made of Gorilla Glass. The shit is really really difficult to dirty up and scratch. I went a step further and put a screen protector on my Epic 4g and it's been fine after 8 months. The swype is actually more annoying when you want to be lazy because if you aren't precise it'll guess at what you meant to write... and usually it's a bad guess.
The only shitty thing about Galaxy S type phones is the lack of Android 2.2 Most of the time you don't really notice you don't have 2.2. but sometimes you just want to scream at Samsung to stop jerking you around.
Yea I'd get the Galaxy S. I bought the Epic over the Evo because the Epic has a keyboard...and I ended up never using it because Swype is so good.
I have a Galaxy S, great phone. In your position I would probably get the Google Nexus S, its also actually a Samsung phone and very similar but it has googles latest software, android 2.3 Gingerbread (galaxy S has 2.2) I havent really checked the reviews but I'd think its the superior phone, if for nothing else then for the better software.

I have the Nexus S and it's definitely amazing, but if you're in Canada it only works on Wind and Mobilicity, so for now unless you're in a city who has those providers the Nexus is a no go : - (
