Sorry to disagree but i have two teenagers both have blackberrys they are the phone of choice at the moment because of free bbm messages. They can message their friends also on the BBm network - if its anything like ine that means at least every 30 mins - and don't get me started on Twitter !.
The second and third choice is iphone and then the androids (various).
