I use a Blackberry 8310 for geocaching with geocache navigator. It works great! I can do paperless caching and it will work when i have no cell service too, as long as i have tht coords. Also it is great for spur of the moment cacheing. I don't even use a gps unit, just my blackberry. So here's my wish list.... I'm almost ready to get an upgrade with AT&T. I've considered one of the iClones but they don’t seem to work well with AT&T. Hmmm. But here are some things I would love to see in my “perfect cellphone.” * A cheaper phone bill (I have the lowest AT&T plan and never use all my anytime minutes) * Clear reception * Dirt cheap txt messaging * Wi-Fi * USB support (for file transfer etc - all though not as important if I get Wi-Fi) * GPS with Google Maps (or something comparable) that I can also use for geocaching * Sync or access to my contact list and calendar (primarily Gmail and Google Calendar) * Gmail (via Wi-Fi or dirt cheap Internet) * Ability to add software when the need arises * Something that fits easily in my pocket Bonus Features (not a must): * A camera (not that important) * Custom ringtones * Mp3 player * Voice recorder * Super easy Bluetooth use - for headsets and transferring files It’s not that hard. I just mainly want something that connects with the services and things I already use and adds GPS functionality for driving and or geocaching - and I don't want to have to pay an extra $10 to use GPS (like AT&T recommends). I'd like a true GPS phone that uses free satellites just like my hand held unit. Like I mentioned, my contract with AT&T is almost up - so I'd be open to considering another service - although most of my calls are to other AT&T customers so those free Mobile-to-Mobile minutes serve me wonderfully. Anyone got a great suggestion

You just need to "grab" it? I'm assuming we simply click "Found it? Log it" and then say we've discovered it?

All very interesting thoughts and comments. I may give it a go and just see what happens. I think its hillarious that people still got into the Mac v PC debate even here. Anyways, I thought it would be great if everyone added something that symbolized them to the USB drive. Maybe a picture, maybe a poem, maybe a song. Just let it keep floating around until it's full and then people could drop it in the mail and the results could be posted on the web somewhere. Or maybe if I was lucky it would come back to a cache near me. As small as these things are getting now I think you could fit most of them in the micro-cache containers I've seen.

Just saw this post from Atariboy across the pond. He's thinking of sending out flash/thumb drives to friends with his favorite music, videos, pdfs, etc. Then his friends will add theres and they'll just keep collecting cool files and such as they move from person to person. I thought about doing something similar with flash drives and caches awhile back. Would anyone be interested? What if they were trackable by a number either on the flash drive itself or in a text file on the drive and everyone could add to it as it goes along. Eventually they could come back to the original owner or shared online somehow. Thoughts/ideas?
