I love my iPhone... I hardly even touch my home computer anymore. But, I text A LOT, on am a FB junkie and I love to check QB on it as well. There are a lot of apps I like, music apps, running apps, a checkbook app... I dont know what I would do without it. :) But, I do pay 200 bucks a months to have it (plus my kids have phones without data plans). There are a few nice data plan free phones that Verizon offers... my daughter has a touch phone with a keyboard.
