Default New Cell Phone

I'm looking for a new cell phone. Should I get a blackberry or a normal cell phone? Camera phone or full keyboard phone? I think my options are:

Motorola V600
Nokia 6800
Blackberry 7780

Thoughts?

I wouldn't get the Nokia. I have owned a couple Nokia's and they all have broken down on me. I like my samsung though.

If you don't need a camera, don't buy it. They make your phone way bigger then if they don't have one.

moto's reliability and quality rules but the batteries may goose out on you. i'd still go with it if you consider the features to be "equal in value" (despite the obvious adds for something like a blackberry).

I got a Motorola V710, which looks very similar to the V600, in August. I've been extremely happy with it and the battery life hasn't been that much of a problem.

I'm getting a phone too. I would like it to be two things:

1) Small
2) Camera-phone

Any thoughts?

the audiovox cdm-8900 from verizon is good/cheap and has a speakerphone too. MUCH better cameras and video support are on the way though, see phonescoop.com for info. i think you'd probably appreciate the new ones enough to wait a bit.

I don't think they make any small camera phones. Atleast ones that aren't expensive.
