Newer cell phones/PDAs - give me the scoop!

I am looking to update our cell phones to make texting and internet access easier.

Tell me about your phone and what you have /like and dislike.

Iphone, Blackberry, Sony? Why should I buy?

Re: Newer cell phones - give me the scoop!

I have a blackberry pearl (indigo-- it's pretty!)
I like it, I can check email, search the 'net, and check facebook, text... and I even occasionally get phone calls

Re: Newer cell phones - give me the scoop!

This is my third blackberry, I am addicted. Love the full keyboard, getting my email as soon as they hit my account. My son has a sidekick which has a flip out screen and the full keyoard. The only thing that I am not sold on is internet access.

Re: Newer cell phones - give me the scoop!

I have the LG Scoop. It's ok for texting, but I don't have access to the internet turned on on it, so I can't help you with that.

Personally, I'm not going to replace it soon, but I also wouldn't rush to recommend it to someone.

Re: Newer cell phones - give me the scoop!

I had permission to get a blackberry bold, but I thought it was too much phone for me, so I picked the Samsung Epix.

It has most of the same perks, including a full Qwerty keyboard, touchscreen/stylus, internet browser, etc. It also has Office Mobile, which allows me to transfer office files to my phone, edit & view them, or create new ones.

Let's see...fairly good camera, a memory card slot, bluetooth, and a spot for headphones. Easy to use texting, and mobile email apps.

I'm totally lovin' my phone!!!!

Kewl. How often do you post here from your phone? Do you create documents very often? If you care to share - what kind of a plan are you on and with who?

I don't climb down chimneys but I keep mine on me while running a baseball practice. Keep it snapped on my belt.

Re: Newer cell phones - give me the scoop!

Blackberry Curve -- love it ! Can't wait to step up to the new 3g Blackberry...because of different sites I host I have about 4 very active e-mails..all are on my BB, makes it soooo easy to communicate. Not much it can't do. Internet is awesome. I dont envy you, you have a tough decision ahead ..
