Are we talking cell phones here, or food?

It's pretty much Treo and Blackberry.  There's a few things like the Sidekick that give you a keyboard, but they don't come anywhere close to a Treo or Blackberry's functionality.  It's mostly for text messaging.

You know, I really wish I got a better phone with my phone plan. I didn't think I'd use my cell phone all that much, so I went with just the basic cheap phone. But I use it almost as much as my home phone. Really wish I had sprung for a nicer model. My contract isn't up until next year, so I'll have to wait until then I guess.

lol.. well thanks anyway.. I'm trying to find a decent site where you can compare all the cellphones and options.  There are many sites but not all of them have the models i want to compare. 

I was thinking CDMA phones could work pretty well too..

What is a CDMA phone?  I thought CDMA was just a cellular network protocol.  Like: CDMA, TDMA, and GSM.
