Question: OK, so this may be too general of a question. But, I am just looking for some opinions to head me in the right direction.

My Nokia cell phone is definitely outdated, and I am looking to upgrade to something more modern and more functional. Living in Bangor, Maine means that technology has taken quite a long time to get here, but I think wireless access to email and Internet is available via AT&T, etc. My current phone can only make calls and text.

I am a physician so I would like to have more options for communication and maybe even give up my pager and the $200 per monthly fee which comes with it. My friend uses Virtual PBX | The Onebox Receptionist Virtual Phone System and his cell phone to cover all his after hours patient calls. I don't need the onboard camera, although I don't think it is even possible to get a high end phone nowadays without one. Which phone would be more compatible with these needs. Is it easy to use the iPhone as a phone compared with the design of the Motorola phone? I wish there were ways to try them out first.

The telephones I was looking at are the Motorola Razrs and the iPhones.

I am a bit hesitant to go with the iPhone, because it seems to cater more to a young niche market, but still when I go to its site, it seems very intuitive and capable of doing quite a lot.

Money isn't really a factor. Again, I am just looking for information and opinions. There are no really right and wrong answers here, and the distribution of points will most likely reflect that.
