    Should I buy a Blackberry, or a Treo, or an Ipaq or????

    Which PDA is the best in your opinion?
    I was thinking I should get the cell phone/PDA combo so I don't have to carry two different things around with me.

    Anyone have a good way to check your stats on a PDA? (For instance would a proggie like stats remote work there?)

    I wanna buy one before years end to get the write off for this year.

                  They dont, if you want, tommorow I can take a picture of my "bone yard" it has 3 broken treo's sitting in my closet because they break very easy.. I ended up with a normal phone (panasonic) and it's amazing.

                                  There's a bunch of unlocked 650's on EBay right now. And no, they aren't industrial strength so don't drop it like your old flip phone, but you probably already know that.

                                  It's email and 2way features are fantastic. The qwerty keyboard is easy to type on. What really sets the treo apart from the rest is the touch screen. I have a Blackberry collecting dust and I won't touch it. Why, because I don't feel comfortable with anything else after being spoiled with the big and bright touchscreen.

                                  Plus, web surfing is fantastic with a Treo using Sprint. 144kbs! It's a real 144kbs too. When I need to use my computer I plug it into my Treo and surf three times faster than diaup.

                                  Try that with your stinkin Blackberrys. Ha!

                                      Oh yeah....we have our phone deal with AT&T wireless.....which is now also cingular....so I guess whatever I have to buy needs to be compatible with them.
                                      Or do they make basically the same version for all the wireless companies?

                                          i'm debating the SAME thing...i have att/cingular and these 3 are my finalists:

                                          Motorola mpx220

                                          Palm Treo 600

                                          Blackberry 7290



                                          but, i'm honestly considering just paying $30 a month and getting Tmobile Sidekick II...ALOT of good industry reviews on that one (mobile industry, not porn, lol) and it does "push" email, pop3, AOL/ICQ, web browsing, etc etc

                                              I will be honest and say that a Sidekick is cool for most folks. It's better than a Blackberry that's for sure. The difference between them and the treo is that Treo is the industrial strength version of the pda phone.

                                              I don't know what other network speeds are like.

                                                      can i buy one of these "unlocked" 650's from ebay and use it with Cingular ?

And my advice, get the IPAQ! I have one and the fucking things kicks ass. I have no idea how I lived without it! It's really the only way I can keep on track and finish a job without drugs

                                                                                                                          Not going to tell you what to get but I'll give you my experience with the Blackberry.

                                                                                                                          E-Mail - I've had the Blackberry 7510 through Nextel for about 8 months now. The main advantage to the Blackberry is that it is the ONLY DEVICE THAT CAN take advantage of PUSH E-MAIL technology (REAL TIME E-MAIL). Meaning you get e-mails instantly...no need to poll for them. If you'd rather use POP3 then the Blackberry automatically polls for e-mails every 10-15 min. You can customize your return address to your liking. In about a month you'll be able to e-mail JPEGS and other image formats. Currently you can view PDF, Excel, Word, TXT amongst other files with the standard Blackberry OS without any 3rd party programs.

                                                                                                                          Web Browsing - You can do simple WAP browsing with a stock handheld. But 3rd party software is required for full blown HTML/JAVA etc. It looks just as good if not better than the Screen shot of that IPAQ. $27.95 for ReqWireles web browser.

                                                                                                                          Organization - Like every other device the Blackberry seamlessly synchs with Outlook and Notes. It also includes a password keeper, Task Checklist, picture viewer. I also have E-OFFICE which is a full blown Office clone for the Blackberry. Try typing an e-mail on the IPAQ without having to buy the attatchable keyboard, or the Treo with its pin sized keys.

                                                                                                                          The only advantages I see to the Treo or the IPAQ is that you get a cute little stylus, and viewing videos.

                                                                                                                          The new Nextel 7520 has bluetooth...I'll be upgrading soon.

                                                                                                                                  When EV-DO launches in late May early June for Sprint then you have true broadband speeds in your pda/phone without any additional hardware.

For some reason the Sprint version doesn't have Wi-Fi. WTF is that about?!?! It's a bit bigger than the Treo too. I'll wait and see on this one.
