I agree with waylon about letting your friends help you choose. I have been a smart phone user for just 3 weeks at the urging of my daughters who both have i phones. The reasoning was simple...they can help me because they have the same phones. I got the older 3G model. It was free & worse case I go back to my old phone & the i phone becomes just an i pod.
Our carrier is at&t which has strong signal in our area.
I don't know if you text or not now. I texted NEVER so getting used to the touch screen is a bit hairy but I'm getting it. I probably would have opted for a larger screen with bigger buttons if I was choosing without help. Auto correct is providing many laughs for us.
Good luck Plantlvr

I think the most important thing is knowing what you intend to get out of the phone, and whether you have issues with apples proprietary shenanigans or not. I personally don't use my Iphone for anything but medical applications, the e juice calculator, and calling/texting/emailing. If you're like me, it probably won't matter much. If you're into billions of apps, video games, and syncing things across comp-phone with respect to calenders and documents and what not, or even music for that matter, it may be an issue. And then you have to consider whether you want an open platform (android) or would be willing to jailbreak your Iphone.

Should we start a tablet thread?
