Hey fellow redditors, I was recently thinking of getting a new phone with virgin mobile and I can't decide if I should go with the blackberry, a solid smartphone, or the intercept, a cheap but low-end android.
Any advice would be appreciated
Edit: Thanks for the advice, I'm definitely gonna go with the Intercept.

I find Blackberrys to be crap after using Android phones, they might as well be texting feature phones with email. The Intercept isn't really that bad of a device, though I'd spend the extra $50 and get the Samsung Transform instead, probably more likely to get a 2.2 update being a newer model.
Depends on what kind of use you're looking for. I love my blackberry curve, but just as a talking, messaging and email phone. It's not that great if you want games and things like that. I don't know much about the intercept, but I assume it's more "app friendly" than the curve.
Unless you work for a company that gives you one, there is not reason for a BB. And Samsung makes a very solid phone, go for that.
