Mainly A Phone - But Also Need Email Access

I'm self employed and primarily need a new PHONE - but also want the capability of checking email two or three times a day while I'm out of my office. I probably would not need to send many emails (that could wait till I'm home and on my computer) but I use email for my work and want the security of knowing I can check to make sure nothing urgent has come in that I need to get on immediately.

Are there any realistic choices (DARE maybe?) other than a smartphone like BlackBerry/Treo? If it's got to be a smartphone I might either jump to AT & T for a iPhone (even though it would cost me since I have everyone in the family on Verizon now) or possibly wait for the new Storm.

Thanks to any who can help advise

env2 software update

if anyone is curious there is now an update for the env2 that I know that many people were waiting for.

Update fixes key guard issues, allows access to visual voice mail, fixes bug with pictures and many more. Contact your local Verizon store to see if they have the update.

Thank you for taking me back

Okay, I admit, I fell for the 3G iPhone hype and quickly realized that AT&T is FAR from where VZW is for call quality or data speed. Where I live has no 3G coverage, so I was suffering through EDGE, ya know, dial up for cell phones! 😛

Anyways, I ported from big blue over to Sprint, a carrier I have not used in a few years. I was hoping for an improvement. That did not happen. So, I called VZW Saturday afternoon and asked to be ported back. Their retention department assisted me very professionally.

I do not know if they visit here, but I would like to thank Elmi and Melissa in customer service, and Shermann in the tech department, for all of their assistance.

Love 'Berries, hate Apples!! 😁

Help me...

I'm torn between Sprint and VZW. Both offer BB curves but SPRINT offers more features for less $$. I also hear that when sprint can't hit their towers then just grab a VZW tower. SO wouldn't the coverage be just as good??

simpsons last night

Did any body see it? The episode was called lost Verizon and it was all about Bart getting a Verizon phone. The funny thing was that Marge was tracking Bart with the Chaperone feature. I can't escape work EVER! But it was a great example of how Chaperone works I wish I could use that episode to show customers how it works. Classic

Blackbery 4.5 OS

I have info from a VZW Data Sales Consultant that VZW will make OS 4.5 available for the Pearl and Curve on Oct. 15.

I'm not sure if anything other updates will be included in the software package, but I think this is pretty good news.

Now we just need the Storm to get here!

Verizon Curve customer service issues...

I have had the BB Curve for a few months now, and up until Friday, everything was great. My phone worked during the day, but when I got home, my earpiece did not work. It will go online, send and receive text messages, but on a call, the other line can hear me but I can't hear them. I tried calling cell and land lines. I did a *228 programming and reset the phone, but the problem remains. I took it to the vzw store where I purchased it. They told me I have a bad receiver and the phone would have to be replaced. The problem is that they said they didn't have a phone to give me. I do a lot of traveling for my job, so having a working phone is important. I also use it for work purposes. They said they can get me a replacement phone by Wednesday...

Verizon vs. AT&T

I currently have AT&T, and I hate it, the coverage is spotty at best. I can be driving down the road and my phone will go in and out of service. So my question is, Is Verizon's coverage better?

My best friend has an EnV from Verizon and I have to use her phone all the time because mine doesn't have signal. So my question, is it just my area or does Verizon have a good coverage area?

I have also heard that Verizon is expensive, I really don't have that kind of money to spend 300 dollars a month on a phone bill, so is there a plan, that I can get that has Unlimited text to everyone on any carrier, thats in the price range, of $65-$80 a month? I text the most, so I don't need too many minutes either. and I don't need the internet on m...

Loopt on LG 8350

If anyone is familiar with Loopt you'll know its a really neat program. Its like a buddy finder using GPS and only certain phones can use it right now...but, the LG 8350 has a hard time working with this software. If you have the LG 8350 don't download this! In the past month I bricked 2 phones. Before Loopt my phone booted up just fine, after Loopt it lagged while booting up. In a matter of time it will crash while booting up. It will continue to try to boot up but never fully load. It won't stop til you take the battery out and even after that it will continuously recycle the boot process. Now I have to get another phone replaced. This is just a possiblility but the reason I say its Loopt is because I only see the difference in th...

Samsung OMNIA

There hasn't been alot of talk about this phone. I know that it hard to say when a phone is for sure going to come out, but does any one have any ideas? It seems like it is going to be a sweet phone to me. Thanks 😁
