Answer» I guess I would be in category #4. Unimportant self employed business person who needs to be reachable wherever I am. A missed call has a very high probability that it would result in missed income. I don't *need* a smart phone. But when you have an upgrade that LET's you get a $500.00 phone for $49.99.... Why not?Meh, got it 5 days ago and joined the iPhone hype. Love it. Just really nice to use. Got all the things I want, minus a decent camera, small price to pay there though as far as im concerned. Do miss the camera on my W995 though, still got that though so when I go out on a night out and theres a decent act performing somewhere in Sheffield, I just take that. As for the Blackberry, I just think they're unbelievably boring. Every other person around me has either a Blackberry or an iPhone, and all the Blackberry people seem to do it complain about how expensive the apps are and how simple and limmited it is. Only plus side I can see is Blackberry messenger. Though each to their own!

I guess I would be in category #4.
