Internet and e-mail would suggest large screen and keyboard... lots of new smart phones out there.

I am currently torn between:
1. Nokia N900 running Maemo
2. HTC HD2 running Windows
3. Sony X3 (Experia) running Android

The N900 has been described as a computer that also happens to be a phone.
The HTC HD2 is getting some great reviews - but not sure about Windows
And Android 2.0 on the X3 (I think) is supposed to be superb.

In my case the iPhone is out of the question. I have a two year old and my phone camera is used constantly. My Samsung Innov8 takes pictures (at night as well) that spank those from my partner's iPhone quality wise.

I guess I have heard/read too many horror stories. It is also really unfair as I have never used Windows mobile so I am judging it based purely on other people's experiences.
