what kind of phone do you use and can you watch videos on it?

I have a Blackberry Pearl :) , and I am sad to learn that the web browsing capabilities are extremely WEAK and I can't watch videos on it, and it doesn't have a video recorder. Then I went to an Apple store and played with the new iPhone. I was watching videos on youtube and surfing the web like a champ. THat is my next phone, but I am waiting for the G3-the new model!

But, I wonder how the service is with AT&T...anyone use AT&T for cell phone service?

Once everyone gets the new wave of cell phones that allow for web surfing and video watching, video tours are gonna be the bomb, as in "wife: honey let's look at that house! husband: umm...we better set up an appointment with a realtor to go look. wife: well for now just whip out your cell phone and type in that code on the sign so we can watch the video."

I can't wait...

I have a blackberry also and I am anxiously awaiting the Curve to come to verizon. I have been told it will be video capable and have a camera.

i've got an i-mate and watch stuff. it was way advanced when i got it from england 2 years ago. now the i-phone far outstrips it.

I drool over the Iphone, but I have the Blackberry Curve 8310 which I love. Yes the browsing capabilities aren't great, but that's not my main reason for having this (a) phone. I also have AT&T service which has been very reliable for the 5+ years I've had it in my area. As for the Iphone, I understand that the internet can be spotty, so I'm sure waiting for the 3G phone would make sense.
