Palm Treo Goes Pro to Battle iPhone and BlackBerry

Smartphones

I have used the Blackberry, Treo, and iPhone. The iPhone is awesome if you into watching movies, surfing the net, or listening to music. For office work, avoid the iPhone. It is lacking much in this area. As for the Blackberry and Treo, this is personal preference. Each works well in an office environment. I decided on the Treo due to its size. As a woman with small hands the Treo works better for me. I can hold it easier while texting without much worry about dropping it. My husband prefers the Blackberry with its wider size, he can hold it better without worry of dropping his phone while texting as well.

Treo 700p beats blackberry

I bought the 8330 and was really nice till I turned it on! Very confusing. I desire the new Treo Pro. Blackberry is a black eye.

I gave it to my daughter and she loves the Blackberry and makes fun of me. O well

Free world open for eveyone! I say go Treo!

Recent Announcements

It sure is a great time to be a consumer right now (Except for the whole sluggish economy thing!). It's also an exciting to be in the mobile industry at this time with all of the recent announcements we have seen. Lots going on! But who will live up to the hype? Palm? Android?

Smartphones

I avoided them like the plague due to the first commenter's same issue. The manual is thicker than the phone. I said no twice to pro-offered Palms and BB's. Then, the iPhone came on the scene and I'm smitten. I will not buy anything but Apple phones from here on out. And it's the first Apple product I've ever owned.

palm vs blackberry

I recently traded my treo 650 for blackberry and I miss the simplicity of use that the palm gave me. I have had blackberry for several months and still can't figure out some of the functions. Is it just me? or do you see other comments like this?
