Default Smart phones

i'm looking for a new phone and thought it would be nice to surf the internet while i drive so i want to try one of those fancy "smart phones"
so after a little research I came to a list of the phones that might work.

all those phones have 3g service which i need. i know the Treo has a stylist(pen thing) which makes it easier to navigate.
the moto Q has GPS and i think the BJ 2 dose as well which would be nice as i get lost going to work. Don't really care about the camera. no need for opening Word/Excel files or viewing PowerPoint & PDF docs . what i need for it to do is be a regular phone that surfs the web with ease, send emails, YIM, post 1 pic of my AMG at the dyno, GPS so if someone kidnaps me and throws me in the middle of nowhere and forgets to take my phone i can find the nearest waffle house. maybe watch youporn vids and what not..



cliff note: i need some advice and/or opinions on any of these phones

what carrier? I have the ppc6800 through alltel. After downloading the hacks to enable gps radio the thing rocks. I had to buy a navigation program and use third party work arounds but all said and done it is worth it, but you can get free programs like google maps too. If you want to pay 10 bucks a month though the blackberry pearl has built in gps but you have to pay for the telenav usage. if you are interested in the pearl though you better hurry. they discontinued it.

ppc6800 from alltel is also the tytn II. HTC ------- rocks. Bought the Pantech Duo for the wife. Not a bad phone as far as features. Lacking touch screen though so when I try to navigate through windows mobile i get a little confused because i am used to being able to touch the screen. Mini SD slot, bluetooth, windows mobile.....what more do you need? All palm OS suck dick anyway.
