I currently have an HTC Touch (Windows Mobile) and I'm due for an upgrade. My work pays for my phone and so they'll pay for the cost of the upgrade, to an extent. I think the only rules are that I can't get an iPhone.
Right now I'm looking at either the HTC Dream or Magic which both run Android. I used the Dream for a little bit and liked it. What I really liked was the slide out keybord. And seeing as this is a work phone a QWERTY keyboard comes in handy. From what I've read the Magic is slimmer, has more RAM and more internal memory, but it doesn't have a QWERTY keyboard.
Has anyone had experience with either or both phones? Anyone have any other recommendations from Rogers' current lineup? I've never had a Blackberry, should I go down that route? Maybe with Bold or something? Or I hear the Storm 3 is due, should I wait for that?
Just looking for some feedback as to what people like and dislike.

i think it's just me, but my bold 9000 is slow as all hell.
it's a great phone, with awesome mail & messaging capability, but it's definitely not an app-filled mobile web browsing machine.
i'm also sick of doing a battery pull once a day.
Have you updated your firmware?

I'd check out the android phones - they seem much more capable.

9700 is pretty sweet in my books.

If you like the slide-out keyboard + android, you'll have to go with Telus.
I read (I think it was on howardforums that Rogers will be upgrading the magic to 2.1 this summer. Unfortunately, the dream won't be able to (onboard memory issue or something like that).
I can't say anything about the bb, don't have one. I've got the magic. Works well. Touchscreen keyboard doesn't like my fat fingers. I had an easier time typing on the iPhone.
