Need help!

[sangate]

Smart phones. Bloody things. My contract ends at the end of the month and aside from the problem that I text more outside my country (and thus contract) than in, I need the cheapest possible contract. But aside from that, I need a new phone because mine is on the verge of dying for good (even though I've said this since the end of last year) and I'm going to try my hand at a smart phone.

Problem is: I need a qwerty-keyboard.. I can't type on a flat screen, I just can't. Which is a problem as the best phone out there the HTC Desire doesn't have one. Don't mention the name of an iPhone, I just can't afford it :p Other possible choices are the Nokia E6 and the Blackberry Bold. It seems the Blackberry's better than the Nokia (I put one of those 'compare' tabels next the three of them), but the HTC is better than the Blackberry when it comes to internet options. You can't watch YouTube on the Blackberry? Is it sad I need to be able to watch YT? But the HTC doesn't have a qwerty keyboard :(

Also, how does it work, how many GB's, how fast the internet has to be, how fast does it die, I have no idea! Can anyone help me with their experiences with one of these phones, or with smart phones in general? I hate going to the those stores with all knowing boys with me standing there going: *nods* uhuh uhuh, yep, and me not having a clue :(

Any advice or experience with any smart phone is welcome :D
