First and foremost LTE or even extended 4g isn't available in my area, so that's not really my concern. I'm looking for a rocking 3g phone. Because I don't need the latest and greatest I would hope to get some excellent battery life.

I talk about 600 minutes and send/receive about 500 texts. I don't use too much email, but that's because my current phone doesn't support it. I'm sure once I had that capability I would be using it lightly. I take photos and upload them to facebook, I send some multimedia messages. I would like to be able to do the same with limited video capture.

My current favorite is the Droid Incredible 2. What do you recommend?

Heh, first 4 votes?

It's not that I don't like it. And I have been looking at iphones for a while. I guess if I buy an iphone I can sell my ipod touch. No need to carry two devices!

I guess price is a little bit of a concern, but I guess I can do $200 for the iphone 4. The inc2 is only $80 on amazon wireless.

Yep, consider your iPhone 4 to be an iPod Touch that's constantly connected to unlimited data and can make calls.

If you get an Android device, you'll be buying a plastic web browser with built in phone capability.

I picked up a 4th gen iPod Touch recently because work banned cell phones yet again...

I'm really impressed with it, great interface, very good display, quick response times.

I see an iPhone in my future...

I can't wait for iPhone 4S/iPhone 5. The 4 is already faster than dual core Androids, the A5 is going to be awwwesomeee

I would like a blinky LED for notifications, some lock-screen customizations and we're done until 4G rolls around.
