Default Re: Buying a new PDA phone need advice

Thanks for the info Mike H.


So I've heard many good things about the I Phone and Blackberry.


Anyone have more feedback? Or happen to have owned a Blackberry and I Phone?


I'm still split. Blackberry = less money up front and I Phone I think is more advanced for all around use.....

I've heard that Verizon is negotiating a deal to also sell the Iphone.

I absolutely love my iPhone. And all things Apple.

Punted my PC a year ago and have never been happier.

Wow! Who would have thought that Joe was a cult follower !!

Watched my Berry 8330 slide down a roof and fall two stories onto a concrete patio last week. When I got down off the roof it was ringing . . . . . someone trying to sell me cell service.

What? No Treo users out there? I have the new Treo Pro. I would use nothing else. Windows based. Easily links with laptop.

I have about 8 Treo's in a drawer. Almost every Palm and Windows version they released. Finally gave up on them with the last version as Palm hasn't been doing too hot and I was getting frustrated with them breaking often and waiting for replacements over the past year. It'll be interesting to see how the Palm Pre does though.

Does the front bar go in your mouth like a horse bit?

Depends on your carrier.
If using AT&T I would go iPhone but if using Sprint Blackberry is your best option.
Personally it is hard to beat $99 for the simply everything plan that Sprint has.

I use my Curve in combination with my Netbook as modem all the time when on the road. .

I'm using the Spring Simply Everything for $99 as well with a Sprint Mogul. I like the OS better than the Crackberry though they're good too. Sprints network is the fastest with 4G but it depends on where you're located. I've tethered it to my laptop at a few conferences at it works great.
