I went from BB curve to BOLD O(with AT &T- I would be with Verizon but I live in a valley and their service blanks out here) and I hate it.

So be careful. Also -- I find the Palm much easier to use -- much more user friendly in every way.

Can move to calendar with 1 button to make an appt while on the phone. Can write with my fingernail on the touch screen.

I have notes in my data base and they are THERE on my cell.

Dial a number with just the initals.

If i have a note beside a phone number ie their asst's name or husbands cell, the number will still dial-- BB can't do it.

In any field, highlight a phone number and it will dial-- BB wont' even highlight it.

Can copy and paste via the touch screen with half or less steps.. the list goes on and on...

To hot sync, I push one button on the cradle and walk away-- BB doesn't even have a cradle that does anything BUT charge. To Hot sync it you must "babysit" it to accept each models changes...

Why ???

And here is the show stopper if I expect to have any time to do RE business

I install the software, synd and get going in 30 minutes. My BB hasn't synced rigth since I got it-- the Memo pad doesn't sync-- when my tech guy was out-he coulndn't fix it either. After a bout 2 weeks BB service called me and they couldn't fix it and furthermore he messed up ALL my syncing and coudlnt' fix it so I'm really stuck-- I'm going to have to go back to a Palm. I hope the PRE has less crashing issues, and I have heard that many people have their email set to essentially push-- so why devote your life to BB?

Comments?

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your information about SmartPhone issues. However, I'm sorry that I can't make any comment about it because I 'm still doing my reserch on this matter and don't have much idea about it just yet. The good new is I'm a fast learner so please allow me sometime I'll get back to you soon.
