I'm getting a new phone on Sunday and I'm not sure what to get. I REALLY need to be able to do email on it and weather would be nice too.

I'm considering a blackberry but not really sure I want to pay $80+ a month.

Anybody have any suggestions? What you like or don't like?

wait for the Nexus One. It will be there in the spring.

oh and I would really like to be able to have a full keyboard for texting....

Droid by Motorola.

But you're going to have to pay the extra money for the data.

You're probably going to have to pay $80 a month if you want email (data) and voice. I don't think there's too many ways around it.

The enV Touch - with a full QWERTY keypad - has a cheaper, unlimited data plan than Verizon offers for Blackberry - $15 versus $29.99.

I have the enV Touch and use it daily to check my email and a few sites on the Internet via its full HTML browser.

The best starter Verizon plan is $40 (plus taxes that jack it up closer to $50). There are cheaper plans, but that gets you unlimited nights and weekends plus verizon-to-verizon, and free long distance.

Then, for $30 you can get the data plan. Since you need email/data, scrape up the extra $15 and get the DROID
