It sounds like many of you are leaning toward getting a smart phone. I have one now, LG ENV touch (not as evolved), but do not subscribe to any data plan. I already have a GPS unit in the car, and have not tried any apps. I just see them everywhere. From entering a contest to downloading current articles.
I used to want a DroidX, but now there is the 4G Droid. It is called something else. I liked the huge screen on the DroidX and the 8mg camera. and playing around with it --- really wanted one.
Peckish, do you have an ipod or ipad? There sure are rave reviews about ipad, but I don't know if I want to spend money for that either.
