i need a new freakin phone -_-

okay, i am still using my old Motorola V360.
this thing is old and i really think it is time to replace it.
one thing is that the battery is almost dead. usually, it could last up to 7 days without charging and still have all 3 bars. now it only lasts 3 days and it would have 1 or 2 bars.
second thing that pisses me off is sometimes it receives a text message yet it doesn't appear in the inbox. i think it is some sort of glitch, but i would have to send a text message to the person [since it happens when i text a single person] saying i didn't get that since my phone is being gay .

now i am on my search for a new phone. first i can't really be on a plan. so that must mean the phone has to be unlocked or is $215 without a plan/prepaid. the phones at Fido aren't of much interest to me. dad said i gotta stick with Fido, so i am on my search for an unlocked phone. not only that, but i need sites, but anyway, i think that might be against the rules...? oh well, for now, lets not discuss sites.

can anyone recommend me a phone, that is $215 max w/o tax. so it can be $214.99. the main concern i have is it having a QWERTY keyboard. nothing else really. i've been thinking about the LG Eve since i saw it for $200 at this unlocked phone site. it's touchscreen and has a QWERTY keyboard and has the Android OS which allows me to get apps for it . so i was like, woah, that's great. but then i read some reviews and people said oh, this phone drops calls, the touchscreen isn't responsive. so now i am getting second thoughts and might not want to buy this phone anymore -_-. anyone have it and give me their first hand experience? i am a bit worried if this phone breaks down or has some sort of problem since it is an unlocked phone site so anything can happen.

anyway, suggestions will be taken in :D. even if they don't have a QWERTY keyboard. i've tried the LG Neon (KS360) and LG Xenon (GR500). i've also put my thought of getting the LG Cookie (KP500) or the Samsung Corby Pro Plus. the only thing is, for the Corby, i will have to get it @ Rogers then unlock it. and i am not so sure if it can be unlocked or is worth it.

so yeeahh, long blog. long story short, I want a new phone (GSM) that is $215 max without tax. Preferred to have a QWERTY keyboard, but not necessary.

iPhone = too expensive. my aunt has an iPhone and my sister has an iPod Touch. i would rather get the iPod Touch since it is lighter and i would've only gotten it for the apps/games. and plus, BoxShot said it too, i can't got for a plan -_-.

so uh, BoxShot, have you ever tried the HTC Dream/Android OS? if you have would it be simple and easy to use?

oohh, that helped a lot IchigoSJ. i did a little more research on the HTC Dream and now i feel like i don't want to get it anymore. sure it has Android apps and what not, but then it just being from Rogers makes it an even bigger problem. mainly because the Dream was dropping support from Rogers, so getting an official update doesn't exist. not only that, but it is @ 1.5 and not 1.6. there's an update to 2.2 but i also read it was unstable and disables some features for the HTC Dream. bleh... Android is a problem i guess for these older HTC phones. the Dream @ 1.5 had a problem for calling Emergency Calling 911. soo... no thanks Dream, i might not want to buy you anymore. but that's only cause it's from Rogers.

summed it all up: the HTC Dream from Rogers has a 911 calling problem. rooting it seems more troublesome then ever. so this phone will be put on hold and i will look for other options.

some more research. they released an update to fix this 911 calling issue [yay]. but now i an reading things that it can't be rooted. damn. i will go on an Android forum for more support .__.
GBAtemp is just... limited, xD.
