Interestingly I love my Samsung Rugby... it is definitely not the most
technologically advanced phone, but it's rugged (the kids can't break it),
has turn-by-turn GPS and I can check my Gmail on it. The best part is calls
are clear and reception is good here.
That said, with no keyboard and tiny text I will have to replace it... I
need the ability to send emails and check on my business. My friends
reviews of the iPhone have been poor, so I've looked at Blackberry. I would
be interested to see how you like an Android phone... I would imagine an
Android phone would do Gmail well.

Also, http://www.howardforums.com/ is a good place to research phones.
