Seeking the wisdom of the FList/DWircle

[giandujakiss]

I have now reached the limits of my tolerance for my office's policy of blocking every website I want to visit (currently posting from a very slow and ancient mobile thing). I am therefore resolved to purchase a smartphone or something similar I can use to websurf - preferably something with a real keyboard.

I don't know these fancy French words like "3G" or "HTC.". I just want something with a good fast reliable connection and decent battery life.

Can anyone tell me what I should get?
