Which At&t WP7 Phone?

So for those of you up on the WP7 devices coming out, which At&t phone should I go for within the next month or so? I want to give it a try even though I like Android.

Physical keyboard isn't important to me as long as its as good as some of the ones available for Android.

The HTC Surround seems kind of lame. If I wanted the added bulk, I would rather have a keyboard than a speaker that doesn't offer much.

Mindfrost, I'll be getting an htc most likely, but the focus has a better screen.

I'll let you know what i think

I don't rely on my phone for GPS, but so far I don't really like how Samsung has handled the whole GPS thing with the Captivate/Galaxy S. Its finally working *alright* for me, but still not as good as my Nexus One or HTC WinMo phones were.

It makes me hesitant on the Samsung phone.

I thought u gave up AT&Terrible and came back to Sprint for the Evo???? Anyways, yeah you have every reason to be paranoid about Samsung. I almost got a Epic myself but I reminded myself how many times I wanted to throw my Moment out of the nearest window when I had it due to the issues that Samsung could've easily fixed through a firmware update and decided not to. I actually like the slide out speaker on the Surround, and IMO it will go good with Netflix on the phone. I plan on checking out the HD7 tomorrow when my g/f goes to get her MyTouch 4G.

Long story short, I went from At&t back to my wife's Sprint line (she had the Evo and I had the Tour), then found out we're getting a divorce, so I cancelled that line and went back to my free At&t account (good thing I didn't cancel it).

I might stop by my At&t store and see if they have demo models out.

i had a surround for 2days and its kinda cool but its not android fast and its not better than my tp2 imo as in user friendliness. the tiles reloading every time you leave/comeback to homescreen blows.
