Which phone do you suggest?

[Guest the_chad88]

Well, I've got a Motorola SLVR L7, and I've hacked the s*** out of it, and totally reached the capacity of the technology on it. So now I'm looking for something like a Sidekick or BlackJack, and just want to hear what you think is best, as far as:

-price

-compatibilty (with Cingular's network)

-Storing and playing my mobile music with headphones (I have a 1Gb memory card, 200 songs, and iTunes on my SLVR)

-Speed (no laggy stuff)

-Ability to mod/hack, add applications/games, change skins/icons/fonts/bootscreens

-size (something small, flat)

-mobile internet/access to my Gmail

And I don't really need something with a stylus, I'm still fine with just using the keys to navigate.

Any suggestions?

Blackjack all the way ;)

Its available on Cingular, takes microSD's iirc, same as your SLVR. The OS can lag a *bit*, but no horrendously so. You can add a mass of 3rd party games, apps, hacks (it even has a registry to dig through :D), you can even create custom xml homescreens to display things such as your latest emails or an analogue clock. Its nice and flat, full qwerty keyboard so no need for a stylus. The Pocket Outlook email client is easily capable of picking up your GMail over pop3.

I really cant emphasis enough the flexibility of Windows Mobile for Smartphone. You can hack and mod it to hell and back :(
