I have Verizon...i want to stick with them for a few reasons... BUT I have a regular phone...no internet, just speaker, bluetooth and a camera...that's it.

I now take the LIRR to work and am bored on the train (I can't really read, i get motions sick)...so i was hoping to get a blackberry or similar device where I could get and send emails, go on facebook and LIW and whatever else I think of.

Anyone have any suggestions on which to get?

Storm?
Pearl?
or whatever else is out there that I don't know about. lol

Thanks much!

Hey girl! I have the Curve (thru cingular) and love it. Although lately its been crappy but I have had it 15 months and have beat it to death!

Anyway I have heard the pearl is hard to type on and not my cup of tea and I am not ready for touch screen yet. However the storm may be on a faster network so be sure to ask that. My BB is on an older, slower network and its annoying! Internet is slow at times

Also I go on LIW, Facebook, anything I want really! Anytime I need an address or phone number I just google it! It really comes in handy! The internet is great and entertains me for hours while riding the bus. Sometimes I do get motionsick and have to put it away but most of the time I am ok!
