hey guys...i just switched from VZW LG V to Tmobile bberry pearl an dgoing back to vzw. not happy with tmo's network, call quality, and really miss the keyboard.
Im getting either treo 700p smart, 700p w/o cam, 700 wx smart.
what is the differnce between the 3? i am leaning toward 700 wx with win mobile 5.
any opinions?
im also considering bberry 8830. which one should I go with and why? any input/comments would be appreciated. thank you.
...
700p hands down...and you'll have a better screen 320x320. Palm is waaaaay better than windows. palm the name says it all you can navigate though anything in the palm of your hand...with windows you have 2 use 2 hands..and your stylus...go through all sorts of menues just to so something simple...
...
oh yeah? im going for a test drive later. But i heard that windows mobile 5 is pretty dynamic. also i will be using it alot for hotmail and im thinking that it'll sync better with hotmail with the WX?
...
also does anyone know if, when and what the next new phone coming out for vzw is?
...
well if your using hotmail a lot..then yeah...you can still use hotmail on the palm but it will be web based not outlook...but i say wait for the next phone the ppc6800 or the samsung 760 the treo's are pretty much last year models.
...
ok guys so i went and after talking to the salesguy for a while, i decided on the bberry8830. I really really liked the treo 700wx - it has sooo much stuff you can do, mobile 5, you can work on and save word and excel, camera, etc...i've never not had a camera phon in my life so i dunno i may end up returning it and getting the 700wx. when are the ppc6800 or the samsung 760 coming out, do you know?
basically you can do more stuff on the 700wx including pc functions that blackberry is not capable of.
does anyone have the 700wx? complaints? comments please? thanks
...
Never had the 700wx but had the 700w and now have the 700p. I like the P hands down over the w. The windows pda's have too many memory issues. My palm has done everything I've wanted so far.
...
Hotmail? Get a gmail account and never look back!!!
...
i know i know but the thing is ive had dam hotmail for all mylife i have a gmail acct and tried using it but all my $hits in hotmail and everyone keeps contacting me there......it is really hard to switch personal email service, next to impossible!

I would stay with the BB8830 unless you really need the Win Mob 5 Word and Excel features. So far the BB has been really solid, which is not what i can say about the Treo's in general. There are a few minor things with the 700wx...data connection, call waiting issue. 700w is getting fazed out and if you;re thinking of a Palm OS might as well wait a little more for the 755. I've been working and supporting the 8830 since they came out and have heard a lot of good things about them from users...BBs are solid anyway though. With the BB you can still open and view word, excel attachments natively, but you can't edit...i always found excel very difficult on a pda anyway.
I would say if you have the BB stay with it
just my 2 cents
...
you know what having had it for one day, i do kinda like it and leaning toward keeping it. not having a camera, I really miss. if this thing had a camera, no question.....i still am leaning toward keeping it though!
Thanks for your input!
...
there might be something similar with a camera coming... 🙄
...
i think im gonna go ahead and keep it...thanks all for replying!
