Help me pick a cellphone

Verizon has a lot of choices, but something from the Droid line is probably your best bet. If you want a physical keyboard, then I'd recommend the Droid 3 (<a href="http://engt.co/k9nRy4" rel="nofollow">http://engt.co/k9nRy4</a>), but if you're fine with an onscreen one, then I'd go with a Droid X2 (<a href="http://engt.co/lUahHe" rel="nofollow">http://engt.co/lUahHe</a>) or Droid Charge (<a href="http://engt.co/jPK3k6" rel="nofollow">http://engt.co/jPK3k6</a>) – the X2 has a faster processor and arguably nicer design, but the Charge has a gorgeous screen and 4G support, so it's up to you there. Bottom line: Droid 3 for physical keyboard, Charge or X2 otherwise.

I suggest going to your local Verizon shop and playing with the iPhone and Android phones first and seeing which phone OS you like more.<p>If you decide on going the iPhone route, definitely wait until September-ish until the new batch of iPhones are [rumored] to come out.<p>I don't know too much about Verizon's selection of Android phones, but my friend just got a Samsung Charge, and it felt pretty nice.

On Verizon, the iPhone is always a great choice, especially with new hardware coming out in the near future.<p>Otherwise, figure out what the newest Android is. It changes pretty often. Droids are a solid product line.
