I'm a helpless fanboi of the Motorolla Droid, so I'm inclined to say "get it", but I realize that it is nowhere near the cheapest. The Droid Eris is underpowered but I've heard good things about it. Its only $79 with a Verizon contract, and it can be tethered, so it might be your best bet. -Adam Tom Poe <tompoe at fngi.net> wrote: >I'm moving to Eden Valley, MN.
