Cell phone help!

<p>I am really looking for personal experience, not anything based on reviews, articles, etc.</p>

<p>My BlackBerry Curve died suddenly last night. I am not on a plan (contranct expired, so I am month-to-month), so the network doesn’t really matter.</p>

<p>I need a phone with a good web browser AND a full physical (non-touch-screen) key board. I also need something that allows Flash, Java, etc. Basically, something that can play video and tun most web sites.</p>

<p>One more thing, my current BlackBerry costs 29.99 for the cheapest minutes plan and 20.00 for unlimited data. Unfortunately, now, the cheapest plans for any provider seem to start at 39.99 (for smart phones, at least), and the data plans at 30.00 (25.00 for T-Mobile). Is this true? Am I missing something/some provider?</p>

<p>I think you’re my daughter in disguise. Her Blackberry died last night, too. She’s currently at the phone store getting a new one. Will let you know what she got when I find out. We are locked into AT&T, though, but have always been happy with their coverage where we’ve lived/traveled. However, I think she’s leaning toward an iPhone, so that won’t be of much help to you since you do not want a touch screen keyboard.</p>
