Aiya...digi cam also dont have yet..hihihihi...really embarrasing...only got my cam-phone.

Actually it depends on how deep your interest is in photography. If u want a quick and nice photo without much hassle, get a digital camera. If you want to explore the maximum capability of photography and customize your camera, get a DSLR.

I'm planning to get a Nikon D90. Reading through most threads here. Very informative

bokeh can be done wif point n shoot as well since bokeh means blurred background,even small amount of blur is bokeh.
It's the quality of bokeh u lookin at, Film SLR and DSLR have more capability of producing creamy nice bokeh.Easy,get one DSLR with a lens that have large aperture say f1.4 and wala,u get nice bokeh.

IMHO one of the things to consider is how much definition u want. If u use that lens wide open at 1.8, ur depth of field could be too shallow. I find that sharpness and usability of DOF is slightly better around f2.8-4, which is where i tend to be shooting from. Here's a fun thing to do: switch to black & white, crank ISO to max and shoot some portraits.

for the 50mm, it really depends what you want to shoot... if it's close up of items, 1.8-2.8 is really great to achieve a shallow DOF and allow your subject to be in focus. However, for portraiture, i find that 2.8 onwards is just nice (depends on the lighting available and your ISO settings)

I've just been blessed with a baby boy 2 weeks ago and the 50mm's all i've been using as it's very fast and can capture the 'cute' moments. you'd be surprised how many expressions a baby can make! great lens all around in all honesty- good price too.
