Treo or Blackberry - Sportbike Addicts

JasonB · 09-17-2007, 05:51 PM

hey folks...looking to get either a Treo or Blackberry.

What are your thoughts on anyone? Does anyone have either one, if so lets here the good and bad.

I have had the windows based Treo for the past year 1/2 or 2. I like it and have no complaints.

i heard the touch screens are prone to having issues. but if you're looking for a pda, i'd go with the treo.

Does your provider carry both?

I have a Treo with Windows mobile and I'm very happy with it. I haven't used a Blackberry, other than to play with it a bit in the store, but I didn't like the scroll wheel. Having had a Sony PDA previously, I was used to the Palm touch screen and therefore prefer it.

I was looking at both the treo and blackberry. I wasn't super thrilled with either of them, though I did prefer the blackberry pearl over the treo. I ended up going with the iPhone seeing how I'm a "mac guy".

Oh, just an FYI...theres a new Blackberry "Curve" thats coming out. Don't ask how it is...I have no idea, I do know it's wifi capable.

Looked into the curve and Verizon doesn't have it. IPhone isn't carried by verizon either.

Yo soda, what service provider are you using? So do you just long onto xmradio.com and listen right thru the blackberry.

I'm looking for a good pda phone myself. I have crappy t-mobile service and i'm trying to decide between the blackberry, tmobile wing, rim blackberry pearl, and the tmobile dash.

You may have just sold me on the blackberry.
