question for the Blackberry users...

I used too, just upgraded to the Treo 600 tho and love it so much more. My blackberry was great tho - I used it for voice & data, paid about 250$/month (keep in mind the overages are also factored in there) for Rogers/AT&T in Canada - paid 500$ or so for the blackberry

i can get the TREO on my Sprint service, but the keyboard was a bit too small and the phone a bit too big for my taste to carry around all the time....

Treo for sure

I LOVE MINE!!!

I've got a bb 6750 from verizon... the dataplan is only 40$ but there's a catch. U can't get outlook or internet access unless you have a BES setup.. this only implies to verizon bb's. However, I've got a 19$ accout via mailstreet who provides internet to my bb. It's pretty pimp... I get my outlook email, webclient email, running webmessenger (icq/aim/msn/yahoo) via relay so you don't piss away ure txt msgs, ssh (rebooting my boxes at dinner is nice), and other cool tools. Defintely couldn't live without it.

treo > *

maybe this is a dumb question but what is a BES setup?

thanks!

OK here we go.....


If your talking E-mail....FORGET ABOUT THE TREO. The TREO polls for E-mails. Meaning you have to request for it to retrieve your e-mails before you get them.

The BlackBerry is the only INSTANT e-mail Pull and Push. You get e-mails to the Blackberry instantly and get ones from your domain name that are not forwarded (to your blackberry e-mail) in about 10min. If you wanted to forward to the BB e-mail than your talking instant.

I pay $100 a month with Nextel but thats with voice plan included. Its $44.95 for unlimited use of the BlackBerry Data and E-Mail. I would recommend the Nextel 7510 because it is the only BlackBerry with a Speakerphone and IP capabilities out of the box. Allowing you to install all third party applications. Browse the web etc....

I can't live without my Blackberry since I do about 400+ e-mails a day. If E-mail is for you then drop the silly Treo and get a Business Tool.
