SOUTH U.S. -- Need Help on picking phone

So i went into T-Mobile Saturday and picked me up a HTC Shadow and i just don't like this phone at first the Sidekick was on my mind until i saw the Blackberry Flip (i used to have a blackberry pearl on sprint) but i just don't know what to choose one feature i do like on the Shadow is the Wi-Fi access and one thing i like on the sidekick is a full keyboard and the flip screen. So which phone is recommend (for a college student that likes e-mail on the go and multimedia) i looked at both plans and they are about the same price each month but i dunno which phone has more features and the Wi-Fi? The Shadow just don't cut it, i have to look at windows enough and not on my mobile device and the device crashes all the time.

Also T-mobile service kicks butt i get service almost everywhere
