Recommendations for a new phone?

[Lemony S.]

Hey guys, my beloved Blackberry is at it's end of life, and I have to buy a new phone. But I'm technologically challenged and so I'm looking for recommendations.

I'm 20 years old, full time university student. I have a part time job and a bunch of volunteering and extracurricular things I need to coordinate, so easy to use tools like a calendar, timer, and email are necessary.
All my phones so far have had keypads so that's what I'm used to for typing, but I think it may be time for me to learn how to use full-touchscreens (I have the Bold 9900, which has a touchscreen + keypad, which is beautiful).
A good battery life is something else I really need since I don't like the idea of carrying my charger around with me all the time in case my battery dies- I charge my Blackberry for an hour at night and it lasts me the entire day until I get home the next night.

I hate iPhones, and refuse to buy them.

Any other recommendations you guys can give me for phones would be greatly appreciated!
