Blackberry, Moto Q, Blackjack, or Treo?

Ok, I am getting new mobile service. I am planning on either Nextel, Cingular, or Verizon...

I can get a deal from any of the three companies, so I am not worried about that.


But anyways, I need advice on the phone I should get, as that will determine which company I will go with....


What you guys think?

Blackjack?

Blackberry

Treo

Moto Q



Which one should I get???

Blackberry all the way IMO, the Blackjack and Q are nice if you can tolerate Windows Mobile but run from the Treo.

Treo with Sprint service is my recommendation. I couldn't live without them. Whichever Treo you get (if you go that route), get the Palm OS. I'm staying as far away from Microsoft as I can anymore.

The new Blackberry curve or 8300 is going to come out in June. Full qwerty keyboard, ultra thin, MP3 player, 2 megapixel phone, the best e-mail system in a handheld. What more can you ask for? I have the old 7290 and am salivating for the 8300.

Oh damn. You have convinced me to hold out and wait for the 8300. That looks like a sweet unit. I was going for the pearl, but the 8300 is the ticket!



Dee8Go, I currently have a Treo 650 with Palm. Its been a reliable MoFo, but its time to move on to something bigger and better.

I must still be in the stone age . . . carrying a Treo 600 with Verizon service. With a folding keyboard, it does nearly everything I need from a laptop while on business travel, except that the Blazer web brower is anything but. Google is pretty fast, and I can access Google maps pretty fast, but most web pages have too much graphic content for this old soap bar.

I'd recommend the Cingular 8125 if thats an option, I have the TMobile MDA, its the exact same device, with a slightly different case with different logos on it. Your really missing out if you get Windows Mobile without the touch screen... Full slideout keyboard, 1.3MP camera, audio/video player, and I've been able to find software to make it do anything else I want, including using it as a TV remote
