Default Looking to upgrade to a new smartphone

So my blackberry curve has been acting a little shakey lately and was not properly sealed so tiny dust particles have found their way to my screen to the point where it is distracting to look at any screens with a white or black background.

So I was looking at my att account the other day and realized that I am eligible for a mobile upgrade! As I have professed in previous threads, I am a die hard BB fan, but I must say the new Iphone 3gs looks damn sexy and sports some pretty sleek features.

So here are the phones I'm considering and how much they are, give me your opinions on them:

Palm Treo- $79.99
Iphone 3gs 16gig- $149
Blackberry Bold- $149
Iphone 3g- $99

Features wise, I want something that is easy to type on and do emailing. I am naturally leaning towards the Bold, but I like the apps for the iphone and the touch screen. What do you guys think? I'm not interested in BS about this phone sucks or blah blah blah, just want to hear some positives about these devices.

Also!

Anyone know how much the data plan for palm and iphones are on att? I'm paying $15 a month for my bb.

Out of those, the Bold seems to be the best. But tbh... have you thought about waiting until the palm pre comes out with att?

Physical keyboard, multi touch screen, multitasking, copy&paste. No word on when it will be with at&t yet, but alot of people are speculating early 2010.I personally will be getting one on sprint here in about a week or two once my contract with verizon is up... Id say it beats the iphone to be honest, but plenty of apple fanboys and the like will say the iphone is great. Imo the new iphone is what, faster, has video, mms? Things that have been on phones for years they are just adding to the 3GS, still no multitasking...

I dont think i can wait till 2010 to be honest. I use my phone religiously for work so if it goes, I need to have a viable upgrade option waiting in the wings.

Then tbh, id go with a blackberry bold. Ive always been a fan of the blackberrys, and just cant get used to the virtual keyboard on the iphone tbh..

Im partial to the bold hands down, but the iphone apps make it a pretty tempting option. The speakers on the bold though sound AMAZING it sounds as good as a stereo with music going through it. Never heard the iphone speakers.

The blackjack 2 is an option too i just saw. Its $49.99 and runs windows mobile, cant say i know much about these though. Also the Samsung Epix looks pretty slick too with a full qwerty keyboard and touchscreen.
