Jim, how does the Omnia work? It sounded so promising on paper, but I haven't heard that many good things about it. I always liked the i760 as well, but have never used one.

I got offered to buy the Omnia before it was released in stores, because I had purchased the previous two Samsung WM phones... The Omnia is fine, but I liked my i760 more... but the i760 shit out on me...

The Omnia has tons of features, its just a tad cumbersome to use compared to the previous ones, but the extra processing power makes up for it, I just wish it had a real keyboard.

Ive got my voyager, and hate it.

My BB that i was given for work. its a 8700c, and it sucks as well. We got to test out the Bolds for a little bit, and they are ok, we didnt get to use the full function of them though. the camera, phone, video, and a few other functions were removed by security policy.

A voyager isn't a smartphone though... just a phone with a Qwerty keyboard...

If your just going to text, occasionally browse the web and read your email, then any smart phone will do. If you need the enterprise push email features, blackberry is the way to go; like i said before, depending on what your needs are, there is a "right" smartphone for you....

what is that push email feature?

Love the touch screen, one touch to read email, two touches to send email.

Edit: I don't think you can play teeter on any Blackberry either:icon_geek:

WM > *

There are some major points being missed so far... as in do you want a PDA Phone or a Smartphone, there is a pretty big distinction between the two.

It sounds from the description of a palm being too bulky you want a thin, non pda phone...

My favorite Smartphone, has to have been my Q... although I missed the functionality of a PDA phone....

I currently have the Samsung Omnia, but have had the i760 and the i730 previously...

The i760 was my favorite phone, I miss the slide out keyboard.

It really all depends on what you are going to do with the phone, I use quite a few of the features that a Windows Mobile phone can offer over a blackberry (remote desktop connection, wmwifirouter, easy outlook syncing).

WiFi, Bluetooth, EVDO, Fast processors, Expandable Storage, EXTENSIVE list of 3rd party apps.

I agree with Nick Blackberry > *...but... Curve > Tampax > Pearl > Storm

It also found it's way into a mug of beer when it was about a week old, 5 months ago and still working.

I've owned WM devices, Treos, and Blackberries, and nothing even compares. Especially when you use blackberry enterprise server. My storm is absolutely an amazing phone now....

I wouldn't compare a Samsung teeny bopper phone to a WM device. The Omnia has an external sylus that hangs with a little rope. That is homo.

Yeah, teeny bopper phones FTL.

Double True.

Best phone you can get right now with what you REALISTICALLY will be doing, and the 'Blackberry Plan' is not that bad of a deal at all.

Get the Curve. I wish I wouldn't have bought my Voyager when it first came out and would have just got the Curve.

the only thing I'd want more is an iPhone but AT&T sucks in Bemidji and surrounding areas.

The VZW treo's that we have at work are slow and horrible for synching. As are the HTC6800's (nowhere near as bad as the Treo's). I am the only person in the office using a BB and I love it....even though I paid for it out of my own pocket, it works well, never freezes and tethers easily.

My wife has a HTC6800 (alltel) and I'm 99% sure will go the BB route in the future as this is/was our 3rd WM based phone and all have left us severely disappointed.

There are a bunch of different versions of Treos. Some have hardly any memory(700w), its like 64mb versus 128mb for the 700wx. I've never had problems with syncing, and even use IR syncing with ease. I am not a fan of the 6800 either, Chuck.

As far as size goes, it is a bit thick(thats what she said). Anyway, I have decent sized hands, and it fits well. It's extremely sturdy, and has taken a beating and has hardly any scars on it. I had an XV6600 awhile ago, and I had 3 of those because of broken screens/case, etc in about 6 months. I've owned one Treo for a year and a half. Longest I've owned a single phone so far. Best part about them, you can get them on ebay for around $100. Oh and it does have a full size SD card slot(and with WM6.1 update you can use the SDHC cards, 4+gb).

Which model of the BB are you using? I won't go with the new 8830's because they don't have a camera. If it would have had one, I would have bought one the second I read the reviews on it

But yea.. I'm leaning to the Pearl right now.. But like I said, I'd like a QWERTY keypad.

EDIT: I forget you said you use the Curve up in the 2nd post. Does that have the camera or no? I forget lol.
