Well, its come that time that a simple cell phone will no longer due… Having customer appointments and being on the road with no email and trying to keep all this shit together is driving me nuts, so I’m going to get a blackberry. Its the newish 7750 model from Verizon… Anyone have one, or have any experience with one, and can give me some ideas on them, how good they work, etc…? Thanks ---

FUCK PALM PHONES… weak i’m a beserver admin … boooya haha… i run all kinda blackberry’s… they \> palm x2 wireless calander / appointment sync Pwnz 7250 is nice, but the 7290 is nicer… has better screen, bigger buttons and is jpeg compliant. don’t know about the 7750… we usually let them sit on the market for a month or two before upgrading. what yo uwant to know? the blackberry is kinda beat to hold to your ear though… hands free is a must. battery life is good… syncing options own… breakerball is a good game. ---

I’m just curious on how they work, if they get just as good reception as a regular phone, if the email client is as good as people say it is, and if it really is a good step above for a young professional who needs to be in constant email contact and be able to sync things between his work computer and his mobile. I can’t beleive I called myself a young professional :doh: ---

Yeah, I rely on email quite a bit… I take care of our advertising so I’m constantly getting deadlines, quotes, and ideas emailed to me back and forth from our advertisers. Plus I usually get leads for sales calls on my voicemail, it would be so much easier to get it in an email so i dont have to listen to the office manager spell out everyones name, lol. yeah, i meet people and set up appointments to have equipment installed or to have service appts, etc… so the wireless sync would be nice too. Thanks for your help Sonny, I appreciate it 🍺 PS - Here is a link to the one that I’m going to get I beleive. [http://www.blackberry.com/products/blackberry7700/blackberry7750.shtml](http://www.blackberry.com/products/blackberry7700/blackberry7750.shtml) I can get it for about $270 without a new contract or anything, just replacing my old POS phone. So I think I’ll probably do it. ---

i’d do it man… il ike mine… it’s sweet to be able to get and send email anywhere… just don’t tell everyone it’s your celly… that way they won’t expect you to answer to emails 24/7 not a problem with the advice… ---
