Im starting rotations soon and have no clue which PDA/smartphone to get.
I really am a technology idiot, so could everyone tell me what they used? And why you chose what you did?
Ultimately, Im looking for something cost-effective easy-to-use/idiot-friendly and glitch-free. I dont care too much about bells and whistles--like music, games, etc.

If I get all these apps--lexicomp, micromedex, and epocrates --about how much space will they take up? And which did you find the most useful?

Thanks in advance!

For the apps, I recommend the iPhone.

If you want to send and check emails quickly, then I recommend the BlackBerry.

You just learned how to EMAIL yesterday?
 
I would personally recommend Palm. It seems that in terms of compatibility they seem to be the best. Also, I bought my Treo for 50 bucks.
 
I buy a new phone every 6 months.. for $19.99 when they break.

Iphones price is for suckers
 
iPhone is nice, but it doesn't have Flash capabilities, which makes you not be able to view like a quarter of the sites out there.

How's this new Droid thing? Does that have apps? I'm a bit clueless about this technology stuff as well, and wanted an iPhone, but now I'm a bit disenchanted with it.
 
I would say that the Iphone is easier to learn how to use even though I have a blackberry
 
I'd say BlackBerry...it has the best emailing capabilities of any of the smartphones out there.

The only reason I wouldn't go with a Droid or iPhone is the touchscreen. If you have bigger fingers, they're almost impossible to be accurate with.
