3/25 Getting a blackberry for work. Is one provider better than
another? If so which is best.
\_ Do any Blackberries include a camera? I'm planning to replace my
Treo 600 in the near future, and am debating between a Treo 650
because the screen kicks ass and the camera does not suck (but
email handling is still not anywhere near up to snuff) and a
Blackberry for email support that does not suck. -dans
\_ Get the Treo 650. It is everything that a phone and
a pda should be.
\_ I second that. The Treo 650 is outstanding. -- peterl
\_ What's the status of bluetooth support? That was the
other major feature my 600 lacks, and it would be rad to
be able to sync wirelessly (plus bluejacking amusement to
be had). I recall that it wasn't enabled because it
wasn't stable when the 650 first shipped. -dans
\_ Bluetooth is enabled and works fine on my
treo 650 (cingular). I have heard that there
were some problems w/ the sprint version
initially, but a software updated released
last week supposedly fixed those issues.
\_ does it have 80211 wlan capability? cause a pda should.
\_ I have heard that you will be able to get a 802.11
sd card for the treo this summer. If you have the
unlimited data plan there isn't really a need for
802.11.
\_ As a Treo 600 user with an unlimited data plan, I beg
to differ. Browsing the net on a Treo 600 is kind of
like browsing the net on a 9600 baud modem. Useful in
a pinch, but painfully slow because modern web
designers design web pages for people browsing with
modern browsers and broadband connections. So I could
see why it would be nice to have 802.11 in the event
that you are near a WiFi hotspot. That said, unlike
the PP, I don't think its a necessity. -dans
\_ I'm not sure (I don't have a data plan), but
friends w/ data plans tell me that the data
transfer on the 650 is MUCH faster than on
the 600 (supposedly btwn 128-384Kbps). |
