I'd never buy one, I had one of the first touch screen phones a voyager and I leaned against my car to tighten a head bolt and the screen broke. Since then I vowed never to get anything touch again. Plus that the touch screen's at work for the monitors if your hand is wet or has a lil grease on it, the thing freaks out. Makes cleaning them a pia also.
I would maybe get a iphone if it was a free phone selection if they ever come out on verizon just to resell it on ebay..
Just my .02$
