I have Verizon. Blackberry Curve 8530 vs Droid Eris.

Hey there everybody. I got quite the dilemma on my hands. I am in store for a new phone. Have a crappy old Nokia phone. Want to upgrade to something a little more useful. SO, I have come down to both of these phones. There both 99 bucks on a new contract. Which fits my budget perfect. Ones got a qwerty, one has a touch screen. I see myself messaging a lot, so the keyboard is a plus. The Eris has Android on it. Seems like a pretty nifty OS. Not sure if that's enough to buy the phone though. What are your guy's thoughts? Also FYI, don't just say that I should get a phone that calls and texts and thats it because thats not what I am asking. SO which seems to be the better choice? Thanks!

Go with the blackberry. It gets annoying to text, let alone use touch screens.

I have had the Voyager for well over a year and find myself using the real keys more often than the touchscreen.

Blackberry for texting, for sure.

The Droid Eris is what I would go with, becuase it wins with everything except the keyboard.

I read about WalMart offering the Droid Eris for $30, but it's only on their website and it ends today (11/30).

If you do any sort of texting/email on a phone blackberry is the only way to go.
