I have an IPAQ 211 Enterprise. I prefer my phone not to have a PDA built in. My phone if your wondering is the LG Vu.

I ordered a blackberry last week which shoud come tomorrow, it comes with 500mb of free data a month so i hope that going to be enough to get all my e-mails

I thought about the iphone but it's heavier, costs more

blackberry = $250 w/ 2 year contract iphone = $200?

as far as the plan you get unlimited data and 450 minutes for $69 a month

that might be the case in the states but here in the UK blackberry is cheaper and often better stocked than the iphone

I have the new curve and I can see how these things could run your life. Quite nice features. Luckily, although my work has the blackberry service on it's exchange box, you need to be issued with one of the work blackberrys to get your email sent to you so I lucked out there. Would be handy to get work email and appointments hooked up to it though but I don't qualfy.

The main reason I got it was that I was a bit flush at the time and it was the only one that had a proper keyboard. I can't work these phones where you have to press the key several times to get the letter you need in mesaging. I always end up going round and round onthe same key. Someone set me up with predictive texting once and it was weeks before I could send a text again once I figured out how to turn it off.

Nice devices, but unless it's work subsidised, I can imagine it getting very costly once your contract expires.

does anyone know if when you connect your blackberry to wireless home network it fails over to using that instead of getting charged by the phone provider?

I would never have a Blackberry or an Iphone, the menus are too phone like if ya get me

The tilt feels like a computer device, i have tom tom installed on it due to it having built in GPS, also wifi for interent access whenever i am in a hotspot, or on the toilet and i wanna read my e-mails, even office apps if i ever need to use that

The main thing you have to realise about the Blackberry compared to this phone is the GPS and WIFI, you cant have both, only 1 or the other, unless you want to walk round carrying 2 blackberrys and i bet noone does that

Thought I would chime in. I have a blackberry pearl 8130. I love it. Keeping with that thou it is a work phone, If i had to BUY 1 myself, I wouldn't buy either. Too expensive or your locked into a contract for way too long.

Give me a cheap $30 pay as you go phone. That is all I need.
