Never owned one as med student, and could use some advice as to which would be one to buy that is good BUT hopefully on the cheaper side. Thanks so much!

The problem with smartphone cost isn't the phone itself but the service plans. Both ATT and Verizon's plans are essentially the same cost. I think Sprint is basically the same (assuming they still exist). T-Mobile is cheaper, but worse service/coverage than the above.
Phone-wise, stick with the iPhone or an Android phone. A Blackberry is probably OK but they're pretty much old tech and it's not really clear how much updating of the OS they'll be doing in the near future.
I happen to love my Moto Droid but probably would have been happy with an iPhone too (but not the ATT service).
How about an Ipad? Is it practical to use during residency? If you can connect the hopital network with Ipad, do you still need a service plan?
