Hello All
Looking into purchasing either a feature or smart phone but having trouble deciding.
WHAT I am LOOKING FOR IN A PHONE
I make only 5-6 calls on my cell phone daily
I may occasionally text message but sometimes I go weeks w/o texting.
I miss the palm pilot- I liked having the epocrates and other references to go to quickly.
I am not interested in video games or watching movies on the phone.
Emailing may be a nice thing but I can check my email at home or work.
I do not mind listening to music.
I like surfing the internet which I can do at home and (really not suppose to do) at work.
Does anyone know which phone may match my interests.
Thank you
Greg

I have an iPhone 4, which I love! I have Epocrates, Pepid and Medscape as
medical apps that I refer to frequently. Other medical apps are available.
The phone also has a simple calculator and a scientific calculator. You can
use it as a GPS for navigation and to check the weather channel. I also
use my phone for e-mail when I am out and about. I can download my Kindle
books on my iPhone and will use my phone to read when I am in waiting rooms or
other situations where I am caught waiting with nothing else to do. The
phone is handy for taking pictures. When you are out somewhere and the
"perfect picture" opportunity presents itself, you can just snap the picture.
You can then download the picture to your computer or e-mail it to yourself
or others. There are 100's of things you can do with the phone..... too many
to mention here. Other phones will do many of the same things, but I find
the iPhone easy to use and dependable. If you don't want to pay the price
of the iPhone 4, the iPhone 3G is now available for $49 and is almost as
good as the iPhone 4.

Hi Greg,
I have an iTouch I use which is like the iPhone without the phone and a Droid as a phone. I'm moving my medical programs over to the Droid. I think either iPhone or Droid could meet your needs. You even have a choice of carriers now with Verizon and ATT doing the iPhones and many more doing the Droid. I think there are more programs for the iPhone right now but Droid is rapidly catching up. Some iPhones have an issue with signal strength when you hold them a certain way. Consumer Reports gave them a not recommended for that. If you can borrow some from friends and play with them to get a feel for what you like.

Conrad Rios and I will be doing a presentation on the use of the iPhone 4 in
the clinical setting at the CA NP conference in 2 weeks. I upgraded to the
iPhone 4 only recently simply because many of the newer apps wouldn't work
on my old iPhone.

You can indeed purchase a brand new iPhone 3Gs from the Apple store or online from the Apple store and it is $49.00 with a new 2 year contract through AT&T only.
I do however, think the feature difference is significant between the 3Gs and the 4 ($199.00). If you can wait, Apple usually updates the iPhone every June. If you want the latest & greatest, June it is (and the iphone 4 likely will be reduced and the 3Gs retired).

I have a MyTouch 4G which does same things as iTouch insofar as I can tell. Check your phone plan for advice as to
Which phone will meet your individual needs. If you want to switch providers, check with the new carrier and then see what kind of deal you can get on your phone. Do make sure that the phones operating platform will support the current and future aps you might want to install. The current bells and whistles seem best supported by the androids rather than windows or palm....

Thanks for everyone's reply
It sounds like the majority of you recommend an iphone 4g waiting for the update and possible price reduction in June.
But it seems like there must be something besides the iphone
For example my wife is an art director in an advertising company. Everyone she works with has iphones. But we did
find some recommendations for a sony ericsson.
Sometimes I think the iphone has too many bells and whistles for a guy who makes a few calls, barely text messages and is home sick
for his old palm pilot.
In the old days I had the cell phone on L the hip and the palm on the R hip. I thought I was cool because I found a case for the palm that doubled as a wallet! :-)

Personally I like the Droid Incredible-- I have a memory card for pictures that I take to expand the memory so that there is enough memory on the phone for the programs.
My son and I both opted against the I Phone -- no way to expand the memory.
Hope that helps.

It sounds like the majority of you recommend an iphone 4g waiting for the update and possible price reduction in June.
But it seems like there must be something besides the iphone
For example my wife is an art director in an advertising company. Everyone she works with has iphones. But we did
find some recommendations for a sony ericsson.
Sometimes I think the iphone has too many bells and whistles for a guy who makes a few calls, barely text messages and is home sick
for his old palm pilot.
In the old days I had the cell phone on L the hip and the palm on the R hip. I thought I was cool because I found a case for the palm that doubled as a wallet! :-)

Greg- I am not a big fan of gadgets, do not like bells, whistles, etc. Tried
a Droid, could not make peace with it. Have an iPhone, about 3 years or so
now, cannot imagine living without it. Simply makes sense to me, while I
cannot figure out how to even answer my husband's phone (Sony, if I am not
mistaken) let alone make a call on it.

I went to a Blackberry hoping to retire my Palm Tx and carry only one
device. Unfortunately, I simply could not easily transfer over all the
information I have on this Palm device to the Blackberry, plus I need to
enter calendar data on the computer for daily updating to the device. I'm
also looking to change to another phone that also has bigger keys because
I do far more texting now, and I'll just keep the Palm until it dies.
Question, can you enter data on the computer like calendar, contacts,
documents, etc and then sync the data with the I-Phone? Let me know, now
that Verizon has this unit, I was thinking about it. Any advice?

I went to a Blackberry hoping to retire my Palm Tx and carry only one
device. Unfortunately, I simply could not easily transfer over all the
information I have on this Palm device to the Blackberry, plus I need to
enter calendar data on the computer for daily updating to the device. I'm
also looking to change to another phone that also has bigger keys because
I do far more texting now, and I'll just keep the Palm until it dies.
Question, can you enter data on the computer like calendar, contacts,
documents, etc and then sync the data with the I-Phone? Let me know, now
that Verizon has this unit, I was thinking about it. Any advice?

Thanks for everyone's reply
It sounds like the majority of you recommend an iphone 4g waiting for the
update and possible price reduction in June.
But it seems like there must be something besides the iphone
For example my wife is an art director in an advertising company.
Everyone
she works with has iphones. But we did
find some recommendations for a sony ericsson.
Sometimes I think the iphone has too many bells and whistles for a guy
who
makes a few calls, barely text messages and is home sick
for his old palm pilot.
In the old days I had the cell phone on L the hip and the palm on the R
hip. I thought I was cool because I found a case for the palm that
doubled as a wallet! :-)

Yes, you can enter data (calendar, contacts, etc) on the computer and sync via iTunes. You can also set it up to wirelessly sync contacts & calendar via a google account via google calendar & contacts. Finally, you can also purchase MobileMe from Apple (currently $99/yr - but rumor is that it may become free). MobileMe will allow you to receive any updates you make wirelessly rather than syncing to iTunes.
Hope that helps!
