Best Cell Phone For REI

I cant find a phone that will keep up with my life and not get trashed. Help.

I have the Blackberry Curve right now.
Pros: Has lasted through a few rehabs and is still kinda working, do not have to take off gloves to use keypad, has keypad rather than software keyboard
Cons: Internet sucks, MLS and BP do not work well if at all, trackball get dirt in it

Phones I am looking at:

Blackberry Bold
Pros: better internet, keyboard, blackberry software that I already like
Cons: internet not as good as iphone, expensive for its age (been out almost two years), I think a new one will come out soon

iPhone
Pros:Nice internet browser, small, light, large memory cap.
Cons: My fat fingers dont like the keyboard, you cant use the keyboard with gloves on, phone is prone to scratch and fingerprints. and everyone has one

Palm Pre
Pros:Internet, Draws all aspects of your life to your phone, Linux based, multitask
Cons:Lots going on, keyboard not as good as blackberry, have to switch to sprint (have ATT now)

Am I missing any that can handle the internet of an REI and the construction of a rehabber?
