Thank you guys!!! I have printed up this thread for hubby to read as we have both been rather baffled when hearing about the newest gadgets. I really appreciate what everyone has contributed.

I wasn't trying to get info with the thought of buying anything - just trying to sort out the different products so I will know more about what folks are talking about.

RAZR, one step above your parents - hehe Staci. I should have put that on my list - I have seen commercials for that!!

I have a basic cellphone from t-mobile to-go. Love it!! For now, this is all we need for quick calls home and to have on the road for emergencies. It also allows minimal internet access to news sites, weather, etc. I can send and receive short e-mail and can use aol and msn messenger. I turned it on the other day to find a pm from Lut in Belgium.

I loved reading about all these available technologies - THANKS!!

Anyone else want to chime in with info about which electronic you have and why you love it and how you use it? How much does it cost? What your next upgrade will be?
