Hi, newbe here. I want to stay with ATT and I'm ready to upgrade from my nokia 6126. Trying to decide between the backflip and the iphone 3G. both seem to be about the same price. I don't do any social networking. Need a phone for calls, texting, hotmail and gmail, internet access to ebay and another auction online and a few forums that I'm a member of. I hate to text on the 9 keyboard of my current phone. I've read the threads here and it looks like some of you came from the iphone to the backflip. If I wasn't in a dead zone for verizon at my house I would get a droid. Never have had a problem with ATTs coverage in this area, always have a strong signal and I have a G on my screen so I guess that means I have 3G here. For my usages is the backflip the best choice? thanks, sbr556
