I need input from those who know, because I've never owned or used one. I'm torn between one of these four, for a data-only device (Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint are out of the question):
1) Blackberry 9300--the new 3G Curve, otherwise the same as the 8500 series and due out soon. I don't have huge thumbs but I'm wondering if I could adapt--the Curves have tiny keys but at least there's some space. A Bold would not work.
2) Blackberry 9100--I'd have to buy unlocked for $400 or so because no major US carrier has them. The Pearl may be the only BB with big enough keys for me to use. It has the same hardware as a Bold (better than the Curve) but in a smaller package.
3) MyTouch Slide. Android, not the top-of-the-line, but it seems to have reviewed well.
4) Samsung Vibrant. Android, and supposedly the hot setup.
I keep reading that BB is losing market share by the ton and may be this year's Palm, plus it has fewer apps available. Android has lots of vendors and apps, but apparently there are security holes in a lot of them.
Any help is appreciated!
