Hi,

I'm thinking of upgrading my phone, and I'd like to get one that's good for reading. Right now I do most of my reading on my HTC PPC 6800 (the 'mogul' from Sprint), and it's pretty good - the scroll wheel on the top left makes me happy, as does the front thumb pad. Does anyone know if any of the new phones (preferably with a bigger screen/higher resolution screen) are any good? I know there's a lot of enthusiasm for e-ink here, but it's just too bulky for me (and not back (side, front) lit, for the most part). Plus, I love having a book with me at all times.

Some I've been eyeing are the Samsung phones, the touch (HTC Touch or Touch Pro), the UTStarcom XV6800, and maybe the full screen blackberry ('storm', is it?).

Thanks for any help / suggestions!
