"World of difference...."

by jsburdge on December 10, 2007

Pros: It is not a Treo

Cons: I have not found anything yet. Everything works like it should.
Summary: I use my phone for business and a dependable smart phone is a must. My company supplied me with a new Treo 650. My boss used a Treo 600 for years and said this should work even better. Everything was fine until I start receiving text messages about new software updates. One update would fix a problem but cause 2 more. The phone would reboot 2-3 times a day and would not open attachments to emails. I would drop calls everytime I was on the phone. I finally had enough after 2 1/2 years and told my boss I would pay for my next phone. I read the reviews here on Cnet and decided my next phone would be the Blackberry Curve or iPhone. When I saw the 2 phones in person I worried the iPhone could not take the abuse that I tended to dish out on cell phones. The one piece front looked neat and seemed to work fine but what if I dropped it? So I decided on the Blackberry and Wow what a difference!!! The phone worked straight out of the box without upgrades. I can make calls and not drop calls (I stayed with the same network), I get my emails and it opens attachments without any problem. The best part is I have not had to download software updates. Setting up my email was very easy and downloading my customer contacts was simple. My old Treo would not link directly to Outlook without problems but my Blackberry will. I would recommend this phone to anyone. I have heard that Blackberry was the phone to have if you were a saleman and lived on your phone. Now I am a true believer. Shop around for the best price. I ended up getting a $50 instant rebate and $100 mail-in rebate from AT&T. After I sell my Treo on the net I should have around $100 to $150 in this phone. Well worth the price.
