[olug] OT: Cell Phone Recommendation

[Christopher White]

I'm in much the same boat as the OP.  Waiting for the Verizon takeover
and watching my options carefully.  I've been following the rumor
sites alot and if true, I'm awaiting the launch of more Moto Android
phones.  Perhaps the Sholes will make it to Verizon.  Otherwise, I'm
in no hurry to change to a new phone yet, nothing on Verizon's site
looks appealing.  WinMo sux and I don't like Blackberry much at all.
