This phone has changed my life! I know its referred to derogatorily as a "crackberry," but that is just because it is that addictive. This one has the GPS in it, and we've already used it multiple times when traveling. Now we don't have to carry our Garmin with us everywhere we go. In addition, you can get all of the Google functions on it - gmail, reader, documents, calendar, etc. Which means I don't have to have my laptop glued to me at all times either. With the new bag restrictions on airlines, its important to consider how much your phone can do.
