Posted 30/01/08 09:57 PM Share Posted 30/01/08 09:57 PM G'day I'm using a Blackberry pearl and whilst its great for receiving e-mails with attachments and the phone part of it is great, it doesn't interface with windows very well with the exception of managing your Outlook files, contacts, notes, in box, sent items and the like.our company's on field team all use blackberry and we have dedicated server in house some of the benefits are not available to single user I think.( Go have a look at www.blackberryforums and have a search around)after using this type of phone for 4 years I would get some thing that runs mobile windows if I had a choice.New Black jack, Nokia e61i, Motorola, you can get a fold up keyboard via bluetooth to make typing easier.Good luckSteve.P.S you will now be unable to hide.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a slide out keyboard and allows me to work remotely.Checkout www.htc.comAny phone that runs Windows Mobile 6 is great, WM5 sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nokia software is 1000 times better, much more user friendly and intuitive. bloody Koreans got no idea how to write software - white man's magic I guess.
