Okay, decision made and order has been placed. I should get the new phone around June 1 or so. I think it will be fun and useful.
In the meantime, I printed out the user manual and am reading it to familiarize myself with the phone's features. It's 206 pages long!! 206!!! And you don't even get to "how to make a phone call" until page 39!!!
Thanks everyone for your input!

Good grief! Are there any tutorial videos you can watch?

It's a fast read, plenty of white space. Actually pretty well written for a tech user manual.
I printed it double sided, two pages per side to save on paper.

Update -- the phone arrived last night and I activated it today! I still am figuring out how to do everything. But I know how to make a call, answer a call, and send a text message. And surf the web. And look up addresses in google maps. And take photos and upload them to facebook. So I'm already well on my way.

I might download a ringtone from the Formula 1 website -- so I'll hear engines revving whenever anyone calls me.

I have a Palm Pixi, and I love it. I just made the switch to a smartphone and it makes things so convenient! GPS, email, my calendar, everything. It was quite inexpensive (as an upgrade through Sprint) and I'm trying to get my mom to get one.
