Right now I just have a LG flip phone and its definitely time to upgrade.  I'm leaning towards a blackberry (i have no clue which one is the best) or maybe an iphone. 

Iyo what should I get?

should probably wait til Newfoundland gets wireless capabilities

seriously - i have an old BB that really is all i need. Most of my friends swear by the newer 3G capable models but the iphone is supposed to have a lot more apps available. Guess it depends what you want to use it for and what provider in your area has the best coverage. Rogers had an exclusive in this area until recently and now Telus and Bell are in on the game.

start with Verizon.. then make ur choice from there.  iphone is obv the right answer but the network that Verizon provides makes up for it.  The storm isnt as bad now with the new OS.  I hear the BB Bold is pretty dam good right?

If you don't go apple, gotta go droid. Best screen, smart ui, runs multiple apps. simultaneously.

yeah...sorry, should have actually stated that.  guy at the VZW store said it has a high learning curve because of the different type of indenting touch screen, and that people get frustrated with it at first.  i tried it out in the store and loved it right away, although it takes a little getting used to

I just got the HTC Droid Eris for Verizon and love it.  I really wanted a Droid initially because of the actual QWERTY, but wasn't really feeling it.  The sales guy told be about the Eris, and I told him I was hesitant about getting a touch screen QWERTY, but he busted out a demo unit and I played around with it for awhile and it is solid.

It's slightly slower than the Droid, but I can't notice a difference, and it also only has Droid 1.5, but should be updating to 2.0 soon.  Was only $99 with my new every 2 program.

Verizon is supposed to carry the iphone sometime next year, but if you dont wanna wait for that get a Blackberry on the Verizon network.  Just go to the Verizon store and have them help you find which one is best for u
