I used that a lot when I was in a random city and didn't know where to go. I honestly can't decide if I should go back to owning one for things like that. I know that I don't want to be chained to it again to the point that I'm rude in social situations. I'm still debating. @Rob - It is mostly internet that I want. I could keep my current phone and get an ipod touch. That's actually a pretty good idea. Now I've got something else to consider! @JoJo – GPS is one thing I miss.

In Cambodia, my ipod touch got soaking wet. I miss it dearly but then I`m like... Do I need it? Sure I can't update twitter at a restaurant, check stocks or do the like but do I need too? I'm also leaning to iphone just scared on these travels it will get damaged. If you do go smartphone and had an iphone, I'd say go iphone as anything else will let you down. That said, if it's mainly internet you seek... You can have a cheap phone and an ipod touch... I did that and it worked. I can now buy another ipod and still have only spent HALF what an iphone would have cost. Decisions decisions :D Wow, this hits home.

I'm up for an upgrade next month, and my bf keeps telling me I should get an iPhone. He got one a few months ago, which I was happy for him to get because he's lived his life never really having nice things of his own so I thought it was ok. BUT it's definitely known that people with iPhones are ALWAYS on their iPhones - to the point where sometimes it's just rude. I was at lunch with three other people once and half the time they were all on their iPhones! So I decided I'd never get one because I didn't want to be so rude to other people... And ALSO, when my bf lets me use his, it was fun at first, and then somehow I got BORED with it... I don't know how that happened, seriously. But with the upgrade coming soon and how much I love AT&T I'm still thinking about it - I haven't written it off just yet, mainly because it's so convenient. One of my favorite things to use it for would be its GPS because I get lost all the time and could definitely, definitely use it... So I'm still weighing my options. Haha sorry for the long comment! I seriously should just email you already! ;) Love you, Mary dear! I’ve been struggling with this too, Mary dear! I’m up for an upgrade next month, and my bf keeps telling me I should get an iPhone.

It was convenient and I never had to think. If someone asked me a question I could Google the answer in a few seconds. Instead of forcing myself to remember things I could just store them on the phone. There was no reason to use my brain because the iPhone was available to me at all times. There was also the constant urge to be online reading/updating/playing/learning things. [...] [...] Mary Thompson: I remember how much I used the iPhone when I had it (ALL THE TIME).
