I currently have a HTC fuze with Energy firmware dualbooted with android 2.2 I actually use android more than the default OS.
When my contract is up in november with ATT I wanna get a dedicated android phone. So hopefully by then ATT gets more android phones besides the backflip

Once upon a time I would have agreed, but I seriously urge you to reconsider. These days, the physical keyboard really is a dying technology. I know many users who got the physical keyboard for the same reason, who now regret the decision because of swype and because of the improvements that have been made to the virtual qwerty keyboard.
I definitely recommend that before you buy a phone, give the virtual touchscreen keyboard another serious look, and especially take a look at the Swype program on the Android phones. Go to an AT&T store or Verizon store and give it some serious evaluation. If you really dislike both of them, well the only good Android phones with the keyboard are the MyTouch Slide (Tmobile) and the upcoming Droid 2 (Verizon).
In the case of Swype, there is a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it is immensely more convenient and much much faster than a full keyboard.

the virtual keyboard is annoying at first (since you always press a key you dont want to) . . .and thats why for a moment I preferred a physical keyboard where I can actually sense what key im pressing. . . but after getting used to the virtual keyboard, its much better. you ahve a bigger screen and dont have to see that ugly crammed keyboard all the time. and I rarely text in english so I dont use swype.
and every time i swipe fuck, it "guesses" duck.
