Fireant Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 OK anyone out there with a Blackberry 8130 pearl or a Voyager? I have a Audiovox 6700(big brick) and have to stay with Verizon. Any advice on which of these two I should go with? Or is there something better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary1911A1 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I have the IPhone and I do think it's better for me, but I'm hardly an expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireant Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 I wish the Iphone was an option for Verizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimel Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 One of my employees has a Pearl and likes it. I recently switched to a Blackjack II and love it. Not sure if that is an option for you though on Verizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Alot of my friends have the Env or the Q. I got the Rizor and love it except for the web access. It stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I've had an 8100 Pearl for about a year now. I love it. The trackball gets a little dirty from time to time and has to be cleaned, but everything else is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I've had a Treo 650 w/Verizon for over 2 years and saw the Palm Centro recently(available only thru AT&T or Sprint). I hope Verizon picks up the Centro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpeltier Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Those all have some nice bells and whistles, but i needed a phone with the reliability/durability of a baseball bat. I put my phone thru hell, and needed a waterproof,dustproof and shock proof model. Only the Casio G-zone had those features. I have droped it from the roof, a moving motorcycle and left it out in the rain. It still looks great and has not missed a beat in a year of use. The other 8-10 phones Ive had are all in a box somewhere dead from similar instances. I am a cabinet maker/carpenter so my job puts my phone thru the extreme. If you have a similar profession it would serve you well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Had a blackberry, was a nice phone. Worked very well and was handy to use. Now I have an Iphone. Very different, I was not thinking I would get an Iphone. I went to the store to buy a new blackberry. But after playing with an Iphone I was sold.

BismarckC Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Slight thread drift but applicable. Is the blackberry system (i.e Pearl) better than the windows based system (Blackjack)? I have to get a new phone and comments seeme split between the two systems. I was about to post my own but found this thread. I thought additional questions might be helpful.

kimel Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Depends on your needs Bill. If you need to interface to a corporate network like Exchange and they don't run a Blackberry Enterprise Server then you get to pay more fees for the connection and setting it up is a royal pain. If that is the case, go Windows Mobile. The setup for Exchange is about a 60 second deal for a typical setup. When I upgraded to my BlackJack II a couple months ago I started the setup as I walked out the door of the store and had my email and calendar synch'd by the time I got to the car. If you don't need to interface into a corporate network then go to the phone store and play with both and see which you like best. I have employees that have both (we do have a BES) and they like both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
