[capty99]

i use my phone for calling people. i use my computer for everything else.

[supersloth]

then a blackberry would be inappropriate for you, i however will use data services 10x more than voice services.

[Nova Dragoon]

im still on my sidekick one, but I would be lost without data service

[Amadeus]

I've got one...it's for work, but I use it for personal business as well...at least the company pays.

[supersloth]

what model is it? all our work ones are pretty old. how do you like it?

[Amadeus]

My work one is a little old, alright...the 7250. I've had it for a few years. I like it in the sense that I'm comfortable with it, because I'm so used to it, but there are much better models out there. I switched to the Pearl about 3 months ago, but could not get used to the predictive typing on the compressed keyboard. Is it possible that I'm getting too old too change? Or maybe I just have fat fingers! Either way, I switched back to the full QWERTY.

I'm going to have to change soon, though. They switch us up every few years, so I'll have to grab a newer one. Probably will try the compressed keyboard again.

I've heard good things about the 8800...really good. They're full keyboard, or do you have the choice?

[supersloth]

the 8800 is pretty much the pearl with a full qwerty board and bigger screen. even has the same media functionality, but lacks the camera, but i'm ok with that. i played with the pearl and was impressed but didn't like the keyboard, so the 8800 really won me over enough to switch carriers for it.

[Amadeus]

Yeah, I may switch to that one then...I can certainly live without the camera as well.
