4.6Love- you sell cell phones and pda's and such right? What would you recommend? I'll be renewing a contract with at&t so the phones are heavily discounted.
what service carrier are you on? or are you going to switch that with the upgrade?

just go my route.....don't carry a phone!!! LOL it's so much easier not being attached to a piece of equipment. Let the regular phone get all the messages like the old days....what the **** would people do if cell phones just fell off the planet?!?!? Ask that same question 15 years ago and nobody cared.

I can see where some people may need them for work and such, but other than that....cell phones can disappear for all i care. ff topic i know:

but if your going to get one.....go with the Pearl. hahahahaha

wow...its amazing how far off topic this thread got....

anyways...congrats on the new phone...im gonna get a BB from verizon when my current plan is up.

fonc...you may not like the Voyager, to me, its awkward to use the touch screen the way it is setup..and its not very responsive..

In my opinion anything with windows mobile will give you some problems. Just like anything windows , it has some problems. However that's not to say that they aren't good phones. I have a motoQ from sprint and its an awsome phone. Very user friendly very slim. If you really must get a pda I'd go with something like a treo, you may opt to get one with a touchscreen or not, I personally don't like those. The good thing about the pda's is that you can sync you contacts with your pc very easily and it makes texting super fast with the full qwerty key pad. You can make your own rigntones and they all offer memory card slots Mini sd slots for the most part. They also offer a lot of features which aren't available with your regular flip/bar style phone. You'll have real web browsing with your choice of browser. You can watch TV or listen to the radio and most come with real good cameras for taking pics..I can go on with the many more features they offer but that would take forever..
Let me know if you have any specific questions..

BB pearls don't use windows OS so you'll be fine!

No it does not! If my memory serves me right BB do not work on windows OS. I think they have their own OS!

kewl, well I just got back from the phone place, I turned in both BB pearls and got 2 BB Curves in place of them, the only reason i didnt get the Curves in the first place is because the phone store told me that they were not insurable. I found out today that BB just added the Curve to the insurable list, so now I have 2 Curves....one for me and one for the woman, and both are insured.
