Thanks very much for the info FRiends!

Right now I'm still using a Tracfone LG flip phone. My buddies look at it and ask me if I'm going to donate it to the Smithsonian, lol. But since I mainly text and make a few calls, it's been all I need. Still, everybody says if I go to a smartphone I'll be hooked and wonder how I lived without it, so that's why I'm thinking about taking the plunge.

One of the greatest things you'll like is the conversation style of texting. Instead of going back and forth between inbox and sent messages, you see each person's texts as a conversation with your texts.

Other than that, the touchscreen interface is generally much easier to navigate, but that's about it. You may like having the internet access, but mobile versions of sites just plain suck, and it isn't nearly as nice as it could be. You can also get apps/games to entertain or similar, but I'm one of the few people I know with maybe 10-15 apps installed. Most people end up with way more. Then again, all I really do is text/call, minimal email/internet. Not much else.
