Should I upgrade to a Smartphone?

[SamSam]

Ok, I am going to hijack this cause I have a question that goes along with it... Anyone on verizon? Iphone or the new htc thunderbolt? and does anyone kow of a good good gps app for the iphone? I always used the vz navigater for directions before/

I just had to laugh when I read your post because I was also going to hijack this thread!
I"m with T-mobile (very happy with it) and I think it's time to upgrade to a smartphone for a variety of reasons. One being texting, my phone is the old texting (pushing each key the required amount of times to get the letter you want) and with kids/grandkids who are avid texters, I want to be able to respond easier. Also, I love the idea of all the app's, etc. So, my question is ...which T-mobile smartphone would you recommend?
I feel like a dinosaur in the technololgy age!!!

I use my phone (landline at home and Tracfone for mobile) about one to two hours a month. Obviously, I am not a customer for a smart phone.

Two days ago I got an iPod Touch. Pretty cool gadget! I guess it does just about everything an iPhone does except make phone calls.

It does help if you are in a place that has wifi. That is just about everywhere.

My partner also has an iPod Touch. We can "phone" each other now for "free" from our wifi workplaces with FaceTime. Pretty darn cool!

Is there free Wi-Fi in the WDW parks?

Is there free Wi-Fi in the WDW parks?

Short answer - nope. My partner thinks that WDW is like a third world country since it does not have free WIFI.
