Best Phone At&T has to offer?

I have a first gen iphone and while I do like it the screen is cracked so I need to replace it. I use all of the features especially the web browsing, but I can not stand the sound quality of calls or the fact that you can not send pics via text. I don not care to store music either. What other smart phone that has similar features would you recommend that is also touch screen.

Thanks in advance.

Wait for the Storm. The Touch looks good but wouldn't personally get one.

looks like you might have to switch providers if you want the storm.

or wait a few months and see if the storm will no longer be verizon exclusive.

Why not get a 3G and jailbreak it? Call quailty is dramatically improved so I've heard (I've never tried a 2G). If you jailbreak you can MMS. It's easy.

Don't let those things be the reason you don't get one if you like the other features of the iphone.

I have a 3G iPhone and have no problems whatsoever with sound quality. The sound quality is actually pretty good.

The Samsung Eternity looks promising. Its pretty much the AT&T version of the Samsung Instinct.

Depends on what you're needs are. If you want a full function phone with pretty good internet then get the bold. If you want a less capable phone with great internet then get the iPhone.
