For work, I use the blackberry version of Footprints Nomara. It's nice to close out requests on the go without a computer.

I am T-Mobile so I bought an unlocked UK version Droid that has a SIM card. I use it as a very capable phone with occasional WiFi use at home and work and if I need it on the road I use public networks. This doesnt allow me to use the GPS or other WiFi based features but I dont really have a need for it. There are some tantalizing APPS out there that would be nice to have but I have resisted so far and my bill is for simple standard phone use. I think Verizon network doesnt use SIMs so you are a little bit at their mercy.
