Blackberry is on an absolute role with new, modern phones that shame the 3 year old Treo design. I currently have a Treo 700w and have owned every generation of Treo prior to it. Unfortunately I will switch to something new since Palm hasn't even announced something that is even remotely competitive with Curve, 8830, Pearl or Blackjack. They continue to role out derivatives of the same old tired form factor.

Does anyone know something I don't know?

I agree with you, but unfortunately with the exception of the BB 8830, all those great phones you mentioned are GSM only. What are us Sprint users stuck with, the tired old Treo, 2 year old BB phones, and the biggest POS smart phone to ev...

I'm currently Verizon user and am frustrated enough with lack of choices to sacrifice coverage for better phone selection and functionality. I was actually very interested in Verizon BB 8830 until I found out that at least initially, they won't be making the built in GPS available for use with 3rd party application software. This might not be the case with Sprint. Only other downside is that there is no camera if that is important to you. Otherwise it looks like a great device.

To those of you who are with Sprint/Verizon, that's your bad, shame on you, and that's your choice!

I definetly agree with the first post, Treo is getting old, with the same old stuff, and Blackberry is definetly taking off, and moving forward with the Curve, but so long as there is no auto-focus on the camera, and no 3G, I'm not jumping on to Blackberry.

You are right about 3G. Any phone without broadband is an absolute non-starter. That's why I haven't jumped from Verizon yet.

Specifically RIM, has stated that they're not ready to put a 3G antenna in any of they're SmartPhones yet because of battery issues.

Heck, I don't hear any users of the Moto Q, or any of the HTC devices complaining.

Personally, I really, really want to see more auto-focus camera phones, I really do, there just aren't that many really.

The reason most people who are in to phones, but stay w/ Verizon is coverage. Verizon does have the best nationwide coverage. Cingular may get the latest phones, but it's just a sexy brick if you can't use it once you leave the city. So good on us and shame on anyone who does not know the complete story. 😈

I don't know what to say other than that if Cingular's coverage was that bad, then why do they have 63 million customers? Heck, it can't be that bad.

I agree with you, but unfortunately with the exception of the BB 8830, all those great phones you mentioned are GSM only. What are us Sprint users stuck with, the tired old Treo, 2 year old BB phones, and the biggest POS smart phone to ever hit the market, the Moto Q.


There's your problem. Stop complaining and ditch your current provider for one that uses GSM.
