Bad choice for e-mailers for Cingular - Explaination included
The BlackJack for Sprint is a good phone, but the internet package is 44.99/mo b/c the phone is classified as a PDA unlike the other Microsoft Mobile Smartphones you can get w/ Cingular for just $19.99/mo for internet. My suggestion would be the E62 44.99-19.99=$25.00 difference $25 x 24 month contract = $600 in savings A MUCH MUCH WISER decision.

whoa!
first, i'm confused: the blackjack for sprint? do you mean for cingular? i think that's what you mean.
on to the phone. every one of the windows mobile phones we chose has high speed data in one form or other. (the dash has wi-fi) to get the most out of the richness that the OS offers. the e62 is, unfortunately, 2G only, but otherwise it is a good phone. as for why cingular is treating this as a pda not a smartphone, i wish i understood their reasoning behind that and hope that one could talk them out of it. i used a prepaid account with our test model and no problems, for the record.

yea I meant Cingular. working crazy holiday hours, need to get an Energy drink. Maybe a sprint (RED) Bull. True true, still annoying about that data plan pricing.

the reason the BlackJack is more is because of the keyboard. I think the carriers realize that if you have a keyboard, you're more likely to heavily use the network vs. non-keyboard device like my 3125. there just only so much email I can do using T9 to type.
It's a ludicrous idea of theirs as I get my email pushed to me all day, but whoever said carriers did things that made sense?

I think Stan Sigman is satan reincarnate. Chances are he is at the root cause of this.

Ok first
Blackjack is a windows 5.0 SMARTPHONE edition and is not very good for email if you have to open and possible edit attachments i.e. powerpoint word etc. Therefor it gets the smartphone connect.
the E62 is a PDA, Symbian OS, but a PDA none the less, it has organizing features etc that are PDAish. Along with 16 milion color display requiring more data.
The E62 also is compatible with BIS Unl, Cingulars price? Survey says $29.99, push email, unlimited data etc up to 11 email accts.
