My initial thought was "whatever phone has the next best keyboard". But honestly if I had to settle for anything less than a BB keyboard, I might as well skip the compromise and get a full touchscreen.

In that case, being on ATT, I'd probably get the Samsung Infuse or the Galaxy S2 if it was out. No major reason why, I've just always had good experiences with Samsung products.

If you had asked me a couple months ago I'd probably say something Android, but I think if it came down to it I'd get the iPhone. More refined, buttoned down. Don't really have to worry about the malware that pops on Android occasionally... Battery life, stuff like that.

Well if Blackberry didn't exist, perhaps webOS would have gotten the support it deserves and I would have a shiny new all touch webOS phone.

webOS is still my favorite OS.

Putting carrier issues aside, I'd probably get a Droid Pro. It seems to be the closest thing to a Blackberry.

Great question...probably a droid. I have an iPad and while I like it I don't think I'd like it (meaning iPhone) as my primary communication device.

iPhone. Why? I have a macook and I really love it. I used to hate apple products like crazy but I was forced to get one for school and honestly I don't know how I ever used a windows machine.

In any event the UI is refined and iMessage is on point. I would just hope that they started doing the whole data compression thing. Then it would be a no brainer.
