i was looking at the Palm Centro at first, but it looks a little too plasticy and the screen display and menus look too simple and boring imo. add some gradients or something!

Fixed in the opinion of the whole world who has used Palm OS devices.

no one uses 95% of the funtions on smart phones, id say im using a shitload more than ive ever used before on the palm i see myself using it all the time as an organizer and it makes calls

keyboard is great, syncing is easy and palm os is clean and simple

havent noticed any bugs or lags, battery life isnt great but i knew that going into it and planned to buy the extended batter

Wait till it crashes all the time on you when you want to use something. Then call me. They are NOTORIOUS for having the most unstable OS of any phone. The OS on your phone is almost no different than the one from 1983 when Palm first brought out their PDAs. That is pure fail in 21st century technology when they are supposed to compete.

No Wifi on storm = FAIL

if you're going to get a blackberry, get a bold

I'd go iPhone if you can swing it. Don't let the touchscreen typing worry you. I'm just as fast as my sister on her Crackberry. It's the best internet experience on a phone out there.

I never had one myself, but I know far too many people that have and took their shit back after 3 weeks (just before they would be stuck with it) and got another phone. My buddy got one and kept it and it didn't crash for the first 3 months or so. Then bam it started shitting all the time.

I plan on getting one of those in the near future.

My phone is my savior for the train rides.

Though I should go back to reading my Cosmo. New month is coming soon and I haven't even read Novembers!

;\

I love surfing the web on my phone. I love google maps on my phone. I love my apps. I love being able to sign online every now and then because I am just sooooooo busy atm that I am hardly on msn.

Unlimited data is awesome. I wouldn't be able to know how to keep track of that shit.

I'm getting one at 6 A.M on Friday! Ok, i know that really lame. I did justify to myself though.

I normally go to work at 8 A.M. on Friday though we were told that we today that wehad to be there at 5:30 A.M. to conduct a test.

I told my manager that i can't do it because i have prior engagements at 6 A.M. (his reply was "You damn blackberry lover!"

So if i didn't go to get the blackberry at 6 A.M. i would actually be at work even earlier!

No-one has mentioned Sony Ericsson Xperia X1?

Is already out in the UK, should be out in the US soon.

Posted by Moongoose on Nov-20-2008 04:47:

THats because the HTC HD is much better than X1 IN all likelyhod im buying one in late december / early january. The price is a bit steep, but the sheer awesomeness of that phone is unbelievable.

Posted by l�cid on Nov-20-2008 04:58:

well, i went with the Blackberry Pearl and so far i hate it.

i mean it's all nice and shiny and technologically fantabulous... but my god it's taking me forever how to figure out how to do the simplest things. i mean i guess i'd get used to it after a while, but as of now i'm giving myself a few days before i take it back and downgrade to something simpler.

my major gripe is that i really can't see myself getting used to SureType, and the qwerty keyboard isn't really full qwerty since you have to press most of the keys twice to type the 2nd letter on the key.

Posted by Moongoose on Nov-20-2008 05:08:

Well of course tis taking you forever, that just means that its good. If you understand everything about it from the moment you get it, it just means that the technology behind it is too old and its worthless You'll learn to love it soon enough and then you wont know how you ever lived without it.

But if not, get the touch pro, it has a full qwerty keyboard.

someone please tell me if there is a way around this...

"No true picture mail"

by JTinAtlanta on February 15, 2008

Pros: Great Blackberry addition to the Sprint line

Cons: No MMS Picture capability
Summary: Ok..I'm not going to harp on all the things I like, because there are a bunch and they've already been discussed by the review. The biggest, and I mean BIG, drawback is the lack of true picture mail functionality. To send a picture mail you have to send it like you would an email, which is fine if you just want to send it to an email address. If you want to send it out to your friend's cell, as most people would want to do, you have to know the carrier your friend uses and their email format required to send a email to their phone.

Sprint's stance is that the phone supports multimedia messaging as advertised, because it receives MMS Picturemail, but then gives you a link where you have to go online and look at the photo. Sending...not so much.

Trying to talk to Sprint gives you nothing. They say the reason they can't do it is Research In Motion's fault. Go to RIM's website and look up the problem on the support site, and they say to contact the carrier to configure their functionality which supposedly works.

I know it's one feature, but if you talk to any Sprint salesperson over the phone or at the store, they say it does Picture Mail. You go to the Sprint website and they claim the same thing. This is blatantly wrong.

like, are you fucking kidding me? i can't just take a picture and send it directly to someone's phone?
