Torn between Blackberry and Palm
October 28, 2007
It’s been a little while because so much has been going on but I’m pretty much back on the straight and narrow and updating again. At the moment in my tech world I’m pretty torn to keeping my Treo 680 or torn between using a Blackberry. My UK blackberry contact has sent me a nice wifi enabled Blackberry 8820 to play with but if I was to get any Blackberry device it would have to be the Blackberry Curve 8320 because it has everything that I need, wifi, camera, pretty much everything and a good battery. I am so torn, years of using a Palm device and pretty much happy with using a Treo 680 or going towards the Blackberry Curve device. One thing I will say is that this must be a good device if it’s making me consider getting it.
I tried the blackberry Curve for 30 days it was great but… I missed all the third party apps, PocketQuicken, Handyshopper, KeyContacts (I’m an extensive user of Outlook categories), etc. Now granted it is better at the email (and camera), but Snapper and Blackberry Connect satisfy on the Treo680. I just wish it were as fast and solid as the Curve. I guess that is the trade off for third party apps and an old OS.
