Blackberry Curve vs Palm Treo

Posted by CF (399 days ago)

I am trying to decide which to go with......have done all the figures and things work out very close financially....within a few dollars a month....however the treo deal offers 100MB but the blackberry only 10MB. I am really torn as to which way to go. I know the blackberry is good because my husband has one, but am worried that 10MB just is not enough. i only want it for receiving emails and to use as a phone - not really needing to surf the net.
Any advice?? Anyone got personal experience with the treo?
Cheers in advance!

Blackberry all the way. Most people I know who have a Treo are unhappy with it. It's buggy. It's large. The OS is practically bloated compared to the BB. The BB interface is far superior since without a touchscreen they really had to streamline properly. Can you tell that I love my Blackberry?

Then again, the BB gives you basic functions and little else. It performs these functions very well, but you can't, say, edit a spreadsheet or download lots of cool games.

10mb/month just for email? If you stay off the attachments you should be fine. An email is only a couple of k so unless you get several thousand a month like my wife. ;)

Thanks Starlionblue....really useful information. I think 10MB should be enough, except like you say for the attachments, so probably best to leave them unopened. I think I would be in the thousands per month if i link my 3 emails addresses to it though.... My husband also loves his blackberry and could not possibly function without it anymore...!!?? I am sure I will be the same once I get one! Thanks for your help!
