What smartphone to get

[Chris88]

I am with Verizon and would like to get a smartphone. What one would you get.

Depends, do you want a QWERTY keyboard or a keypad? It basically comes down to the Motorola Q or the Pantech PN-820. I know a lot of people swear by the Q. I haven't used it personally. I've currently got a PN-820 in my care, and it's not bad, but also nothing extraordinary. It's got much the same specs as the Q, but in a clamshell design with a keypad instead of a tablet with a keyboard.

I am not still not sure but I am looking at the Motorola Q and the Treo. But I am leaning to the Q right now.

The Treo isn't truely a Smartphone. It's a Pocket PC device. Treo uses the name Smartphone, but that's what they call the device and not what it's running.

So the difference between those devices is that one has a touch screen and one doesn't. What are you looking to do with the device? That might help determine if you need a touchscreen device like the treo or a one-handed device like the Q.
