Well, looks like after looking at the Share Plan with Verizon, I will also be getting the smartphone when I get back home. According to the share plan, the wifes phone, my new one plus the USB card that I already have, and 6GB data, $150/mo. right now paying close to $200 between t-mobile and verizon. Guess that I am going to need to find some apps that I will need.

Google maps can be used with a laptop as well.
Something most of us has.

My phone is simply a phone.
Well, sort of.
It would be a 'smart phone' - if I let it. But I can't see paying for the same services twice, or thrice.

My phone is a phone.
To back that up I have a computer that I can get maps on.
To back that up I have a QCom that gives me directions, as well as GPS when I want.
To back up all of that I have a RM atlas.
I also have a Rand 510 GPS to get me going in the right direction when I miss a turn, and to give a fairly accurate ETA in the correct time zone.

Don't need no stinkin' 'smart phone'.

Then again, some old guys have problems figuring out how to use those tricky smartphones without an adolescent person close by to show them...
