[Kipper is King]

Before my birthday became terribly sad, my parents told me my gift was getting a cellphone. Their contracts with Telus are almost up. I was hoping people on CP could offer up some advice.

Firstly, my parents and I would be on a three year contract. Perhaps we would be looking for some form of a Share or Family plan as I think the shared minutes are nice. None of us would use a lot of voice minutes.

My parents are looking for very basic phones. I am looking for a reasonably priced smartphone. I thought perhaps the Palm Treo Pro or HTC Touch Pro would be good. Any other suggestions?

Is there anyway to get a particularly good deal? Especially considering that a data plan might be something I would like?
