I'm Finally stepping into this century!

Believe it or not I haven' t owned a cell phone since the 1980's and it really was the size of a shoe box! It was hilarious!
I finally decided that I can't take it anymore and I'm going to purchase a cell phone again.
I have never been soooo confused in all my life! I've narrowed it down to what I really want from a cell phone and decided I might need to narrow it down some more.
So, I really like the blackberry (and it's developed right here in Waterloo). The founder lives right around the corner from where I work. kool !! Then I looked at it again (Do I really need a blackberry??). Nope, but I like them and apparently I can "pin" my guy and we can text for free!! Most of my friends own one so that's more texting for free!
Now, there's the plan....still not finished my research and I may go insane before I finish.
I'm sure with a little more research I'll figure it out soon.
I'm still taking a survey on what people prefer - drop down keyboard, touch screen, flip phone?
Then, there's the color - black, blue, pink, green...? Bell or Rogers? Blackberry or other?
How many people on etsy have a blackberry and why?
Anyone who wants to post a suggestion - i'd love to hear..... thanks!!
