Should I buy a HTC Touch?

[natureboy]

Hi All,

I'm new here and looking to purchase my first smartphone (it's actually for my wife.) I've done a lot of reading and this phone is very customizable plus I can get a really cheap plan from Bell. My question is: should I buy this phone and do the upgrades? All she really wants is a reliable phone (this IS our home phone), access to her contacts, a shopping list-type program and the occasional web access. I don't want to get this phone if the hardware/software is still problematic even after the upgrade.

I'm planning to put NFSFAN's 6.5 21864 SYS on it as it sounds the most stable.

I look forward to your responses.

Thank you.
