ATT
AT&T is known to have the best selection of phones, including today's most popular phone: the iPhone.
Business: BlackBerry Bold
This phone by RIM, is known to be perfect for email, and has one of the best keyboards on a smartphone. It is the largest Blackberry in size, though it is one of the best out there.
Fun: Apple iPhone 3GS
I put this phone under the "fun" category because it is actually quite fun. It is basically the iPod Touch but with phone capabilities. Since Apple categorizes the Touch as "The funnest iPod ever", this phone has to be the funnest phone ever.
This phone can also be included under the business category, because it does business pretty well.
Text: Samsung Magnet
The Samsung Magnet is a cute little phone, made specifically for people addicted to texting. This phone brings a full QWERTY keyboard, and it does what it's made to do very well.
Just Talk: Samsung A237
If you're getting a phone to do what phones were originally created to do, which is to.. erm.. talk on, then this phone is perfect because it's simple.
You really can't get any simpler than this phone if all you're looking to do is talk.
Verizon
Verizon is known to be the most reliable phone service provider, mainly because of its outstanding coverage.
"Can you hear me now?"..."Good"
Business: Blackberry Tour (Coming later this summer)
The Blackberry Tour is just about the fastest Blackberry that RIM has ever produced, and it's supposed to be out for Verizon sometime during the summer of 2009.
Fun: LG enV TOUCH
The enV Touch has been advertised to be a fun phone. It is app-capable, where you could download all kinds of apps, including games.
It has a touch screen, music player, and a 3.2MP camera.
Text: LG enV3
The enV3 is perfect for texting. On the outside it has the standard phone buttons, and then it flips to open up a second screen and a full QWERTY keyboard for easy texting.
Just Talk: Samsung SCH-u430
Despite the name, this Samsung flip phone is your very simple talk phone, and it does what you need it to do.. talk.
Sprint
Sprint's plans and its prices have drawn many people to itself.
"The now network"
Business: Blackberry Tour (Coming later this summer)
The Blackberry Tour is just about the fastest Blackberry that RIM has ever produced, and it's supposed to be out for Sprint sometime during the summer of 2009.
Fun: Palm® Prē
The Palm Pre is Sprint's answer to AT&T's iPhone. It packs almost every feature that the iPhone has, and includes a QWERTY keyboard that the iPhone lacks.
Text: Rumor2 by LG
This phone is a slider phone, that slides open to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard for text-addicts.
Just Talk: M220 by Samsung
Like the other phones that I picked for the other providers, it gives you the basic functions that a cell phone has, which is perfect to talk on.
T-Mobile
Business: BlackBerry Curve 8900
Like every other Blackberry, the Blackberry Curve 8900 provides perfect email functions along with an amazing QWERTY keyboard.
This Blackberry, in particular, is the smallest full QWERTY Blackberry to date, and it's pretty darn fast.
The G1 is the first Android phone to every hit the phone market.
It was made to compete with the iPhone, and it did just that.
It has a touch screen in the front, along with a slide-out keyboard. Android is considered one of the most revolutionary phone OS's to date.
Text: Samsung Gravity
The Samsung Gravity features a full QWERTY keyboard, which is perfect for texting.
Just Talk: Samsung t639
Like all of the the other phones under the "Just Talk" category, this phone does what it was made for.

Nice hub!!
Nice hub! And now it's time to add the LG BL40 new chocolate! Yummy yummy! Moreover, the LG BL40 can be bought sim free. That's what i like with sim free phones, you are NOT tied by crazy payment plans that explode your bill in the long run.
Respect,
