Blackberry Curve 8530, or Pantech Crux?

[alec]

I like the Blackberry Curve because it's a smartphone, because it's free, and I especially like the
Wi-Fi feature since it would help with internet charges, since I'd just be getting the $15 internet plan.

I like the Pantech Crux because it's all touch screen, because it doesn't require an internet plan, but I'm worried that I won't like it because I've read that the slide to unlock is annoying, the battery life is terrible, and the touch screen isn't very responsive.

Which should I get? Please help! Thank you!

The Blackberry is the better of two bad phones. Pantech? I've never even heard of that company. With a Blackberry you know you'll always be getting a reliable phone.

Blackberry all the way.
Personaly I don't like touch screens, I think they suck lol and if it starts out bad, well the screens normaly get worse as the phone gets older.
I loveeee my black berry<3
