Smart phone help, please
I currently have a Treo 700 with the Palm OS. I got it in November 2006, and in early November 2007 - almost as if it could sense its warranty expiration date approaching - it started acting nutty. I ended up having to have it replaced (with a refurb) and now it's acting nutty as well.
Nutty = endless reboot cycle.
Sort of a deal-breaker.
So, now I'm in the market for a new device. I'm not locked into Sprint and would happily choose another provider. I'm thinking of going with AT&T.
I could use a little bit of help deciding which device to get. Here's what I'm leaning toward. Either the:
Blackberry Curve (in red so it's not confused with Scott's/Frank's). Benefits: push email, service in the middle of the fricking Pacific Ocean, GPS built-in. Drawbacks? Browser isn't all that cool, no touch screen.
Or the:
iPhone. Benefits: Great browser, looks cool, can listen to music on it (not sure I care about this), and generally speaking it probably meets all my needs. Drawbacks: I don't like all the hype, it doesn't have GPS, I've heard that the OS can act a little funny sometimes. Cost. Also, doesn't sync with Outlook??? (but I hear that's coming.)
I have almost no knowledge about how easy it is to check email.
I feel like I wrote this in a biased way, which makes me wonder if I've already made my choice? But anyway:
Do you have any experience with either of these, or a reason to prefer an entirely different device? I'd appreciate *any* feedback you smarties can give.
Thanks!Labels: Blackberry curve 8310, iphone, treo 700p
