I am getting a new phone. Until now, I was using BJ2, and I loved it. I was useful for everything i needed so far. Yes it lacked some features like Wifi, etc...
But now I need help deciding if I should get another WM phone or iPhone and should it be a touch screen or not? In fact, I have searched it at ebay and sourcinggate, but it has too many mobile phones and finally I haven?t make any decision on it. Some of my major concerns is that it should have the following: -Threaded SMS (my BJ2 was running WM 6.1 and it had threaded SMS) -Be able to sync with outlook -Be able to backup my SMS, and call history to my computer Any suggestions on what phone i should get? |
Hi! I was in the same predicament as you are, around a month ago. I had used the Nokia E51 for the longest time, as I simply loved it. Just loved it. I would suggest you answer the following:
a) What is your nature of business and does it require you to be constantly accessible over email where you MUST reply within minutes or hours? Or can it wait for you to get to the office the next morning and you reply then? Ofcourse- you will surely get mail on most phones, but that determines whether we consider the BB or not. You may know- Pull/Fetch mails results in huge battery consumption over push. b) What are your talktimes like? Typical or heavy? c) DO you enjoy playing games or would like the flexibility of having various applications? Or are you indifferent about this? d) Do you prefer small, slim phones or would typical smartphone size (eg iPhone/BB/etc) be acceptable? Answer these 4 qns and I'll try and give you my 2 cents on this issue. |
I absolutely LOVE my Motorola Droid!! :thumbsup:

Check out any of the HTC devices, particularly the Touch Pro 2. Also be very wary of touchscreen input only devices if you're using it for business. Most people I know who have tried to go that route (iPhone, BB Storm, etc...) have returned them and gone back to a hard keyboard.

But the BB sucks for web browsing. iPhone or Driod is the way to go for web browsing. Given the above, I carry 2 devices, Driod for phone, web browsing, text message and navigation (Google Map simply rocks) and BB for email. I sure do wish that there was one killer device that would suit all of my needs. But if there is, I haven't found it yet. What I want is the real keyboard and email intergration of the BB with the web browing capabilities of the iPhone or Droid. If, one day, BB actually makes a device with a real keyboard AND an awesome web brower that works with the Verizon wireless network, I would get it and just run with one device. Until that day comes, I am a 2 device user. |
