Phones and such.

So, I'm thinking of getting a new phone (my "new every two" cycle is coming
up), and I'm thinking of getting something like this
if Verizon carries it. I've had a flip-phone for years now, but I'm always
afraid of snapping the things (and for good reason, as I've lost at least
two that way). I'm not a fan of slide-phones, and the old-style "candybar"
phones really are what I prefer. What I'd REALLY like is an iPhone, but I'm
unwilling to switch from Verizon (they've treated me well thus far, and
their company policies make me A LOT happier than what I've heard from their
competitors), so that's unlikely to happen for a while. Which is fine, as I
have an iTouch to hold me over until then.

And, while I'm on the subject, does anyone out there with an iPhone or
iTouch have any suggestion for fun/useful/clever apps I should look into?

I have been really pleased with the phone so far ( I am typing this on it right now) and it totally is a major device consolating tool (I don't bring my laptop anywhere with me anymore). Being that you have the touch, you are probably geting a similar experience less the calls. Did you check out the app store yet? Right now my fag apps are pandora which streams over 3g and the free vnc client, which I use as an ash client. I really can't wait for a decent gps tracking app, but I imagine that won't work on the touch.

wow I make major typos on my phone. It's my FAV apps and I use it as an ssh client
