Still using the good ol' G1, I've been wanting to upgrade, but everything's touchscreen now, I hate it. Until another decent smartphone comes out with android OS and a hard keyboard, I won't be upgrading anytime soon.

I just recently upgraded to a Motorola Droid. Had a Samsung Alias 2 before. I wanted to hold off for the Droid 2 but couldn't wait any longer. Passed on the Droid X as no physical keyboard is a deal breaker for me. Granted, I'm sure I could get used to it, but there's something about the feel of actual buttons that I prefer.
Yeah it's always nice to have the physical keyboard. I make a lot of mistakes on the software keyboards (well mostly they auto-correct wrong). You can always sell your Droid used and then buy a Droid 2 if you wanted, although it's not too much of an upgrade. Make sure you root your phone and try out some of the custom ROMs (Cyanogen Mod is good). Glad to see you finally got a smartphone, just make sure you don't leave it in a taxi

I'm trying to get an iPhone 4 32GB but its almost impossible here. I was about to get a Nexus One/Desire but after programming for Android and seeing what the average app was capable of, it was evident that the iPhone was in a different class altogether.

Motorola Droid and I love it. Does everything I need from a phone and more.
Got a custom mod in it, really fast, snappy interface.
Although, my phone bill is currently $100 a month and I'm living off saved money/financial aid so I may have to downgrade soon unless I find a job. Hopefully once school starts, places start hiring again.

That's ridiculous. I spend like $40-50 a year. With schemes, works out to equivalent of $0.002/min to same network and $0.01/min to any other number.
You may not have noticed this yet Torch, or maybe you have. Different parts of the world charge differently for everything.

Abe beat me to it, but yeah, I was paying about 80 USD a month on my last phone but then again we get paid more per hour in our county than you do in yours.

I know but that's like 20x more....for a PHONE CALL. Even a 200% markup on goods and services is sane.

I don't know if he's counting taxes or not, but I'm pretty sure that includes text messaging and data.
You earn what, like $200 a month? My mortgage payment is $2400 a month. I really find it hard for you to not make the connection between the low salaries where you live and the lower cost of living there.
Everything is relative.

Right now I'm using the Samsung U740 "Double Flip"
Terrible, right? I know.
I got it almost 3 years ago with a 3-year contract because it had MSN Messenger and a full keyboard, so I basically thought it was the best phone that would ever come out, ever. Wrong! Obviously. Though I'm heading back to Canada in a couple weeks and my Mom's getting me an iPhone 4 as a belated birthday present.

I would return the one you just ordered personally.

I was using the HTC G1 but lately I've become really sick of it. I installed the latest custom Cyanogen Android ROM on it and it runs like an absolute slug so I reckon I'm just gonna sell it to one of those phone recycle companies and get myself a cheap crappy phone as a replacement. I miss having one of those old keypads that aren't qwerty, they're so much more compact and I hardly use many of the features that Android is capable of other than the Facebook application (which is pretty dire anyway).

Well I have verizon wireless and its about $60 for 450mins and unlimited texting.
Then $30 for the data plan for the droid.
Then about $10 in taxes and for insurance.
Idk about others, but this is a pretty normal phone bill for most minus the data plan.
