"I'm in love with this phone"

by volsfan0911 on October 25, 2007

Pros: Blackerry email excellence, form factor, GPS!, battery life

Cons: trackball a little cheesy, too many options?
Summary: I moved from VZW and 4 Winblowz Mobile devices. 3 died (Moto Q's) and the battery guzzling brick known as a Treo 700wx. I'm a road warrior traveling for business so I'm just absolutely in love with this phone. AT&T coverage has been surprisingly good, customer service for me has been fantasic (not that I needed it). I've read so much negative about Cingular/ATT but I'm getting terrific reception and signal during this trip with one so-so area inside part of the building I work in. Email is awesome as expected, form factor is damned near perfect IMHO. No 3G or wi-fi isn't a big deal for me - EDGE works acceptably well and I'll take the extra battery life personally. Call quality is good/very good and I've had literally ONE dropped call this past week (in above mentioned crappy coverage zone). I love the built in GPS (one less thing to carry, loose, charge, whatever). Some gripe about having to pay for TeleNav when Google Maps is free along with Yahoo! Well, my limited experience so far has been overwhelmingly positive with TeleNav. Turn by turn, good routing, text to speech is great, route/recalculate speed has been 10X better than my Garmin i3 at home. Turn off BT unless you're using it and get a BB holster with a magnet for automatic standby functionality and you've got a email/messaging/telephone powerhouse that will get you through an entire day of wailing on all of it for business use (I'm a traveling consultant) and then find a good bar for happy hour afterwards and get you there door to door straight from the browser. Plus a semi-decent camera to always have with you. Best phone I've ever owned and hands down the best business tool I use daily. Instant crackberry addiction in my case.........
