Essential question:
send and receive telephone calls
play music with headphones and podcasts
nice maps with gps
basic internet
I have never owned a smartphone before, I like the maps on ipad, and want something more portable

Any android phone will do the maps and GPS, and basic internet, so you're covered there. They all can do music and podcasts too with the provided "listen" app, although there are other players out there. (I use the (not free) Doggcatcher app, which I like very much.)
And of course, they all send and receive phone calls. This is where it gets a little dicey, since it's not totally the phone's "fault" (nor to its credit) for the quality, since although some is the phone, a lot is the carrier and its coverage where you are.
I don't know what country you're in, but in the US at least, the big carriers have varying converage in various areas. In some cities AT&T is king, others Verizon, etc. So a lot depends on where you are, what carrier you're with, and the coverage characteristics of the area.

I've loved my Verizon Droid Incredible. I highly recommend it if you don't want one of the massive 4.3 inch phones like the Droid X or EVO.
However, Verizon just recently discontinued it in preparation for the release of the Droid Incredible 2.

Almost content free. What's this doing on the front page?

Hmm, perhaps this has something to do with it. Just another case of self-promotion of a crappy piece, it looks like.
I don't mind if people submit their own work. It's natural to want to share what you've written. But please, just share the very best, and not everything.
