Do what I did. Get the Iphone from AT&T with a 2 year contract (you're going to have to have phone service anyway)it costs $200.00. If you go that route, make sure to upgrade to the latest os. I love my iphone. It has google maps w/ iphone gps built right in. I used it when I was in San Diego, walking around, and never got lost. The Blackberry is more for people who are email driven.

I am on AT&T for many years and don't see a need to change right now. Looking for a phone that will multi purpose with web and other apps that I put on it. A lot of people swear by the blackberry, but in the stores in a test drive I found the keys REAL SMALL. I didn't like the url I put in had to then be searched to then present it, but maybe the people there didn't know what they were doing. Having to use Yahoo search for anything felt wrong. The iPhone felt better and at this point is my favorite but I am still investigating. If iPhone would there be a reason to not pay the extra 50.00$ for the 16 gig 3G-S instead of the 16 gig 3G? Is the better speed worth it, and do you foresee longer upgrades from apple as they phase out the G3? I want to do twitter with the new phone, GPS, maps as to where I am at. A few games but I am not a gamer. Black Jack or Backgammon is more my speed. Better handle on work related meetings, schedules, and reminders for the personal life are important as well. Voice memos for my self say as I am driving. Timers for how long things take. The level I am looking at all do exchange - email so that is in the mix as well. If I was not on AT&T I'd be looking at the Android but I am married to apple at this time via the carrier :( So any ideas for me to look at? Does one phone have crummy optics in the camera and I should avoid on that alone?
