PDA Phone advice

My Verizon contract is about to end. My 6700 PDA phone is getting wonky. In the next month or so, I'll be looking to buy a new smartphone. For all the Treo/Blackberry/Other users out there, can you give me a rundown of the good and bad points on your phone?

Don't bother mentioning the iPhone. I'd love to have one, but I refuse to ever do business with AT&T again.

Don't bother mentioning the Googlephone. We're strictly talking "I can buy it tomorrow".

I heart Verizon

Earlier today I posted about cellphones. There was ranting. There was venom.

I have a used PDA Smartphone I bought on ebay. Cost me about $200, instead of the $400 one cost new.

One of the nav buttons is screwy. The springy part under the button doesn't work, so if I even bump the button it thinks I pushed it. Annoying.

I called Verizon today to ask about getting it repaired, figuring all it needs is a spring. Turns out, since I didn't buy it from Verizon, I can't get warranty service.

Instead, what they do is replace the entire phone for $50! They are FexEx-ing me a replacement. :)

Call CSI! Oh wait, they're here already.

Came home from work to find police tape blocking the end of the complex (where my apartment is).

Apparently someone in the building next door got murdered.
