Hey Guys,

Here's my problem I have two lines and one I use my black V3, and I love it and I am never going to get rid of it. But I have a s710a for my second line. I am looking to change jobs where I get a POP3 account, and they pay for my cell phone bill, so that includes a package as well. What do I do for a phone instead of the s710a. My boss has a Audivox for $200, and my other boss says Audivox sucks. Please help! What would be the best deal, I don't really like th 650, or the Blackberry's. I know I sound confusing, but please help the confused lol.

Im confused as to why you would want to change out of the S710 in the first place. I have not used the Audiovox that Cingy has yet, but my experiences with the Audiovox phones on other carriers has been great. It's like that with every phone maker though, some love them, and some hate them. Get a Nokia 6682!

Try a Treo.

If you're going to be geting that many emails a day, I hate to say it but your best bet is a Blackberry. I use a Treo, but it does not have PUSH email. Currently, the only PDAs that do are the Blackberry models. I can set my Treo to check my email as frequently as every 5 minutes, but only the Blackberry will get it as soon as the server does.

You might want to take a look at the HP 6515 though. Cingular is supposed to be picking that up in the first part of November. As it's not out yet, I'm not well versed in what it can or cannot do.

The Treo can have GOODlink on it which is push mail 🙂

I have a 6500 and like it a lot. However, you can get it done with your 710a. If your company is paying for data, just access your POP3 account from the 710a. If you think that will overload the phone or you can't because of a firewall, forward your mail to a Yahoo account (or other MEdiaNet supported account) and access your mail with the browser in the 710a. (be sure and get your company to get the unlimited internet for this option.)

If you'll be using Outlook at your new job, I'd recommend the 6500. You can use Cingy's Xpress Mail to keep connected to your e-mail and your calendar. In addition, you can sync your contacts onto your phone. I've found it very useful. 😁
