[Cialug] OT: Best phone for the geek

[Claus]

Check out http://www.howardforums.com/.  This forum has discussion about 
phone models as well as wireless providers.  You might get a better idea 
from it.

A friend of mine has a Blackberry Pearl on USCC but that's pretty much 
all I know about it.  Even voice is sometimes to much connectivity on my 
cell phone. ;)
