Questing for Atlantis

I’ve completely accepted that my current cellphone isn’t cutting it. I need to upgrade to some form of smart phone. The debate is, which one.

First thought is the Blackberry. It’s got all the functionality I want out of the device and the keypad makes it easier to type out posts than some of the other options. Plus, I can get a Blackberry on my current provider.

Second thought is the iPhone. It has a wide range of functionality that covers the bases I want covered. Plus, I also need to upgrade to a computer with better tools for video editing and the like so I intend to switch over to a Mac which gives another plus to the iPhone. On the other hand, I’m on Verizon currently, so that locks me out of an iPhone until I get a cell phone plan of my own.

Third thought is the Google Android platform. The G1 is yet to be released, but it looks to offer a wider range of potential functionality than either the Blackberry or the iPhone. And it has both a full keypad and touchscreen, which gives it the best of both the previous options. On the other hand, it’s just coming out so prices will likely be higher and a new, better one coming out soon after. And there’s the question of phone plan.

Thoughts and suggestions welcome.
