I ordered the Samsung Epix. The reason I went with that one over the Blackberry Curve was the built in Wi Fi and the keyboard on both the pad and the screen. I would have needed to go with the new Blackberry Bold to get Wi Fi and would have cost me a couple hundred more. I understand the Wi Fi allows faster browsing and e-mail (when a connection is available)
Also, I did not like the feel of the keypad on the Bold - no spacing.
I looked at the Vue and the iPhone as well - don't like the touchscreen only option for the keyboard.

The only phone that I have ever gotten excited about is the google phone. I don't care much about most of the new gadgets and rarely spend extra money unless I'm going to make or save extra money. My BIL has a google phone and it has an application that allows you to walk into a store and scan the barcode on just about any product. The phone will tell you how much that product costs in the surrounding stores and how much you can get it for online. He saved my father $120 on one purchase of tires and a lot of money on batteries as well. I will probably get one because I do quite a bit of purchasing for the church. They only cost $179 last I checked (with two years of service).

I REALLY liked the Blackberry Bold that I looked at, but it just seemed like such a big, masculine phone!!!!
I have a bad track record with my phones, too, so I didn't want to fork out so much money even though Jeff told me I could--and he made sure to insure the one I finally chose.
The Bold is not bigger than the Epix... they are about the same.
Corner to corner the Epix is slightly bigger actually - because it has square corners. The bold is slightly thicker.
I am getting a Bold case for the Epix because they have a better belt clip.

Thanx for helping me choose folks! If this does not work out I will be send you all bills!
Actually this is a safe thing I think - because we need two but I am just getting one to check it out first.

There should be no reason you can't do that with any PDA - though it would not scan.

Hey, I just thought of something... do these phones need virus protection?

Well, I don't know...it seemed heavier, and I couldn't wrap my hand around it quite as comfortably as the Epix. Look at them side by side in the store, and you'll see what I mean.
So did you decide to go with the Epix? If so, I think you'll really like it!
Btw, they don't have custom screen protectors (or didn't when I bought mine), but I used one of my husband's iPhone screen protectors and just cut it to fit.
It has a pretty good camera, too.
Here are a couple of pictures taken with my phone:

That's a good question. I don't know.

Yeah, but it was the fact that I can just walk in and scan it and get the info instantly that I liked. I believe that the phone is always online and knows where you are so it can tell you instantly what it costs around you and how far away the other locations are.

Yes i bought (ordered) the Epix. The Bold IS heavier - not so much bigger though.
Thanx for the pix
Your kids have a slight cold.
