Taking the Plunge?

Maybe it’s “Smart phone envy” I’m getting from seeing all of the iPhone coverage (none of which I’ll link here). For the record, I do not like the iPhone. I think it’s too expensive, and too…for lack of a better word, ‘trendy.’ Or maybe it’s the fact that I am growing tired of my Treo 650. I like it. It’s by far the best phone I’ve ever owned. But there is so much more out there. And I made the horrible mistake of playing with the Blackberry 8830 last time I was at the mall.

It had some nice features, and I am going back tonight to talk to a Verizon rep about data packages, the EDGE network, etc. etc. From what I have read, many people have very happily switched from the Treo to the Blackberry. I like familiarity, and I’ve worked with the Palm OS since I was a freshman in HS. However, I am also a tech geek. Show me something better, and I will give it a try. The 8830 looks great, much more functional, has built in WiFi and is smaller and sleeker than the brick that is the Treo 650. And looking at the upcoming Treo devices, I’ve got to say I’m not impressed. If anyone has any advice, I’d love to hear it!
