Please tell me it's worth the cost to get a smartphone!

nybiker, if you do get the Droid Incredible, please give us a review as I am due for an upgrade from Verizon and seriously considering the Incredible. I have a Blackberry Pearl currently and I have found the smartphone capabilities useful. For instance, my parents and I visited my sister in California in January. My parents both "thought" they remembered how to get from the airport to her office, but neither of them really did, so they kept driving around in circles, bickering and getting lost. Annoying. So I pulled out my phone, fired up Google Maps, typed in the business name, and my phone automagically gave use directions from our current GPS location to her office. On the same trip, I also wanted to call someone to keep an eye on my house, but I didn't have the number in my address book, so I was able to search the internet for him, highlight the phone number in the search results and automatically add it to my contacts. I also use it for email, and I sync my phone calendar with Google calendar (which I use a lot). I use the notes application to keep track of important information, and I have occasionally used the voice-notes application for things like remembering where I was parked in large garages (hospitals, hotels, etc).

Also, foursquare & twitter .
