Title: Any advice on smartphone/pda?
Post by: Varg on January 23, 2008, 08:57:46 PM
Its time to reup my contract, and sense I can get a good discount on a phone when I do this, I am going to upgrade. Anyone know anything about the BlackJack2? The Blackberry Curve? I am clueless about all this but I want something that can browse the web, has GPS and looks decent.

varg I've been out of the loop with this stuff for about a year now.  Surprisingly the Apple iPhone crew hasn't chimed in yet.  I'm a Verizon Wireless guy thru and thru, but that's because I've tried all the rest where I live and VZW is the best for me.  Lately though I've had no need for any  smartphone/pda combo.

I just switched to ATT and got a blackberry pearl.  I love it.  Since its release, they fixed the problems with the pearl turning off the ringer in your pocket just by moving a little bit.

I am going to get a BlackJack II in a week or so. It does everything I need it to and saves me $350 from getting an iphone.

The blackjack 2 is pretty sweet. I saw Tom's pearl and it's cool.

Do you guys have that $30 dollar pda service? Do you need that? I thought they had some charge by KB option.

not sure about a pda service. I know if you wanna use the GPS there is a fee associated with that. I am getting the BlackJack II next weekend so I can give you a full report.

I decided the iphone wouldn't do me any good for a couple reasons:

1. I pirate all my mp3s so the album art view would be blank
2. No wifi authentication
3. No 3G
4. $400
5. F Steve Jobs
