A Blackberry phone that is. I really want one and thought I'd get some opinions about them. What phone do you have? What do you love/hate about it?
 
My DH has one for work. He has had it since Nov. He loves it because he can check his work email and play games on it. I know I am not much help.
 
I got a Blackberry Pearl for christmas and I love it. I can get full page emails download a bunch of music to it, holds a good amount of pics this is the phone I have http://www.blackberrypearl.com
 
Quite a few people on our campus have Verizon Treos, and they love those...
 
I had one last year and hated it. Got a Razor for Xmas instead.
 
I have a Razr too. But I also carry a PDA with me - everywhere. We live in a very rural area, so we're lucky to have cell service, let alone wireless internet :)
