My Smartphone is Stupid
I have had a Treo 650 for about a year. It was always a little quirky but for the most part it worked OK for me. A lot more dropped calls then my regular alltel phone, and it always claims it's roaming when it's not. But no biggie.
As time went on the thing started freezing like no tomorrow. It constantly gets stuck. I sent it in for a replacement.
The replacement had a broken headset. I could only hear callers on speakerphone.
I got a third, it's text messaging is weird. It only works sometimes but for the most part things were better. Well now it's started freezing, dropping calls, and doing the things the first one did.
I never wanted a blackberry because the ones alltel have look so boring. Most of alltel's phones look borin...

Really? Even if the phone freezes every few minutes to the point you can't use it. They replaced it 3 times for doing that. i haven't had the latest replacement more than a month.

Blackberry's are not smart phones. They are phones that are email centric. The only reason to buy a Blackberry is if you work for a corporation that utilizes a Blackberry Enterprise Server.

Well my company does use a blackberry enterprise server -- i went ahead and bought one and well i'm not happy with it.
I'm thinking of switching to the Q. my blackberry is too complicated to use. It's impossible to quickly shoot off a text message while driving (i know it's a bad habit)or even just while standing around in a crowd with a drink it your hand. It's too many clicks of the trackwheel to do anything.

i would NOT get the q. i was one of those guys that waited for that to come out; i even got it the first day it was out. it didn't take long before i decided i hated it. dropped calls, battery is lucky to make it through the day, and a few other problems that were specific to me, like texting problems. i had the phone replaced after a week, and still had the dropped calls problem. i now have a treo 700. in the past i have had a treo 650 from alltel which i loved (even tho i had the raoming thing all the time like u talked about) and i used to have a blackberry 8700c from cingular. blackberry's are nice for email, but the call quality is pretty bad, even worse with cingular service. i would go with the treo 700. i prefer palm os, but...
