Robbed, need new phone

[thestalkmore]

So I was robbed last night and I need a new phone. I'm on Verizon and would like to check out smart phones such as the line of Blackberries. Any suggestions? I don't follow new phones very closely.

Should have had a gun so you could have killed the guy as he was running away.

It depends on what other things you want on a phone, besides the just talking on it thing.

Do you text alot?
Do you use internet/T.V./Vidoes on the phone alot?
Need email on your phone?
Need a good camera?
What is your price range?

Most stupid question I've heard in my entire life.

Of course he was!

But seriously, friend has a blackberry and loves it (or blackjack? i dunno I get the names confused), it's a pretty classy little device.

They were black.

To above questions:
Looking for something with good internet capabilities (email integration is not essential).
I do text a lot, and therefore would like something with a QWERTY keyboard.
Cheaper is better, but not what I'm considering atm.

BB Curve. Simple, great keyboard, great internet once you download the Opera browser, and free GPS with an unlimited blackberry data plan (Google maps ftw).

[Maguspk]

So how do you know he was black?

Did you sit there and watch him take your stuff and not do anything? Grow a pair.

If not, then you're just jumping to conclusions. Racist.

Get off Verizon and switch to T-Mobile, they both suck equally but T-Mobile has the G1.

How does Google maps serve as free GPS on the Curve? Do tell!

P.S. Tyche, my Mirage G4 is coming in a week!

Also, how much does an unlimited blackberry data plan tend to run?

I know they were black because they held a gun in my face? Who the fuck are you? Moron.

Unless they were wearing masks, gloves, and shades, how would he not know what the people who robbed him look like?

What if the black guy was armed? (Presumably with a gun or knife that he had also stolen earlier in the night). Growing a pair is only a valid option when you are in a situation you can win. Letting someone steal your $100 phone because you don't want to get stabbed seems slightly more valid to me. Also, he might have only seen this alleged black man while he was fleeing the scene, on what top experts suggest may have been a stolen bike. My point being, just because you saw the guy that robbed you, doesn't mean you could do something about it.

Man that sucks. I know the thoughts crossed your mind about fighting back, is it worth it for a fuckin phone, and what if they shoot you anyways.

Is money an option?

Is money an option?

It's a consideration, but not necessarily an impediment.

Above: It was just $40 and a phone that didn't cost me more than 50 bucks...wasn't worth chancing that Mr. Ghetto Fabulous had bullets in the chamber and a trigger finger.
