Blackberry vs. Treo -- which is better?

I just dropped my treo 650 on the floor and broke the screen. i enjoyed it though. then I switched to Verizon and bought a XV6700 - have it tethered to my laptop now getting 250k download speeds. I just downloaded a bunch of sick 3d games on it too. the keyboard is way bigger than treos or blackberries and it has msn messenger built in. you can pretty much download anything u need cuz its windows.

I ahve the older version of this.. the PPC-6700 from HTC. It's buggy as hell, even with the firmware upgrade.

Is that one stable? Oh - can you get a flash player to work? There's a beta player for Win Mobile 5.0 but it won't run on mine

i have the ppc-6700 too.. tons and tons of bugs.

seems like they'd have to be wm5 issues, not something fixable by firmware.

I dumped my old Smartphone a while back for the Cingular 8125 (right before the 8525's came out). I haven't had any problems with it. Love the wireless accessibility, etc.

On the 8125 and the 8525 (I have the 8525) - the big, slide-out keypad is a blessing and a curse. It's a pain in the ass to use if you're not sitting there focused on using it and not doing anything else. You really have to use both hands to type. So you might like it for that reason, or dislike it for that reason.

The Nokia smartphones are an alternative. The e62 has a nice web browser, and Nokia generally has good phone quality. One thing I don't like about the Blackberry browser is that it treats some Flash navigation menus as one big button, you can't scroll to specific buttons. On the touch screen devices you can just tap what you need on the screen.. on the e62 the joystick becomes a cursor on the screen. And when you hit 'back' on the browser, it displays pictures of your previous pages.

It's also the cheapest phone out of all the phones mentioned here.

One thing also - if you need to edit word/excel documents, the Samsung Blackjack uses the Smartphone version of Windows Mobile, so you can only view.. you can't manipulate. Unlike the larger PPC devices and the Treo.

I have one of these up for sale from Verizon,if anyone is interested, for $200.
I switched to the Motorola Q and will never look back.

i just bouht nokia e61, good equipment for that price 500$
