[QUOTE="HD Fboy, post: 670347, member: 46401"] I am a cell user for 20 years. first, pick a carrier that meets your requirements then hardware. I have carried Palm phones, windows mobile phones and BB. I am considering changing right now to an Iphone. But AT&T's coverage here is not equal to Verizon. What I am trying to determine is whether the AT&T coverage is good enough. I am also waiting to see how this new AT&T G3 network operates. With modern handhelds the data coverage/plans are almost as important as the voice coverage/plans. IMHO the BB is a pure tool and does what it does exceptionally well. It is the ultimate email tool. The Iphone is not as strong as the BB on email but a better overall wireless device. The Iphone is more fun. If AT&T is the carrier of choice in your area, then I would go for the Iphone. The Iphone s superior to the BB on Web apps. Curently, I sometimes travel with my Ipod Touch and BB because it provides the best of both worlds if there is a wireless network in the hotel and airports. However, it is not the same as traveling with a laptop. I would suggest you make a list of functions you need and use this to evaluate the different carriers and hand helds. Also, today I would look at more than just the BB and the Iphone. You may find a different device that would work better for your requirements. Good luck here, unfortuantely there are no really easy answers here. Also, if you are looking @ more than 6 phones most of the carriers offer corporate accounts which will save you money. I would call the carriers and see if they will send you a sample handheld for evaluation. If you are looking @ 20+ phones they will go a long way to capture your business. [/QUOTE]
