It's long overdue for me to get a new phone. I've been enjoying a motorola sliver-like thing for a few years. Not too many features compared with the current smart phones.

Life has changed to the point where it looks like I'm going to need something that allows me to...
- access google maps
- easily check my e-mail on the go
- view pdf files
- listen to audio files
- record audio

It'd be handy to have a few applications like:
- plant identification keys
- birding guides
- compass
- trail tracking/mapping

My husband and friends are currently recommending an iphone. I'm not opposed to the idea, I just have no idea if it will perform well on these particular functions. Basically I'll want it to take over the role of 3 of my current handheld devices: cell phone, a dell miniature computer with voice recording function and pdf accessibility, and an old-school waterproof garmin field gps.
