    AT&T has a wide selection of phones. Do you have the field narrowed down to a few models?

    Are you looking to use the phone for business or for personal use? The Blackberry's are mainly for business people that get their corp. emails & other work related (They are also for personal usage, but more geared towards corparations)

    The Palm Pre is only with Sprint at this time & is Palms way of coming up with a phone to go against the iPhone. So if your staying with AT&T then the Pre is out for you

    The others are more for personal usage, if you do alot of texting as well as calls & data use. My kids all have the Xenon & like it.

    So again it depends on what your needs & wants are to narrow it down on the phones.

    Blackberry and iphone, I'm also interested in t-mobile's MyTouch. I doesn't matter about

    the phone carrier. It would be for business and personal and could care less about

    blogging/facebook/myspace crap.

    If it's for business & personal, and not so much for social networking, games & youth stuff (though we all like that from time to time), don't go for anything that does not begin with Apple, Blackberry, Palm, or HTC. As others have said, you can slice and dice your choices based on your top requirements, but most phones coming from the likes of Samsung, LG, Sanyo, Motorola, others these days are either meant for a lighter/casual purpose, or do not stand up to the big ones I mentioned, with very few differentiators (except those famous/infamous/meaningless marketing names).

    And by the way, when you decide which phone to buy, ping me on my thoughts on recommended/required accessories for it - things to get all of the features out of the device you select. Stores over-charge and do not often know what to recommend, ebay & amazon offer a mixed bag of new & refurbished, other googled sites offer everything but the kitchen sink when you really only need 2-4 items that make your mobile life easier and fun.
