Treo 650 vs. BB
Does anyone know where I can go for a "head to head" matchup between the treo and BB?
I am looking to converge my two devices. I currently use a V710 and a BB7280 from ATT/Cingular.
Dropping ATT/Cingular off of the tallest building I can find.
Trying to figure out which works best for convergence.
Need good voice quality and flawless wireless synching.

Yes. Blackberry. I am addicted to the Blackberry. I want more pda functionality, so I'm looking at alternatives. I would however, hate to gain more pda functionality at the expense of stability. The blackberry does email and it is very good at it. Rock solid. The Audiovox 6600 (for the week I had it) was no match for the blackberry.
Also, I'm interested in finding out what these new devices are capable of when used in conjunction with windows server 2003/exchange 2003. When I had the Audiovox, I was not hooked up with exchange 2003 as I am now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I had a BB for the longest time, now I've moved to the Verizon 6600 for the enhanced browsing (terminal service) capability. I have to say that the BB was much more affluent at email, but that's what it's built for. I run our Exchange 2003 service in-house. You're not going to get anything from Exch2003 with a BB. BB uses its proprietary BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server) for server-based operation. If you don't use the BES you'll have to do desktop redirection (thumbs down!). The new BES 4.0 is sweet. You can do most everything wirelessly (there were limitations with version 3.6). But BES 4.0 costs some significant cash. So, either you need to be the one to pitch it to your company, or you need to smooze the person that does. 😎

you will come out on top with a treo 650.
I have had my treo for 4 months and it does everything and more thing than you would want it to. its like having a lap top in your hand.

I've had a verizon V710 for almost 2 years and recently "traded it in" for a verizon Treo 650. I've also used a Blackberry 7520 through Nextel. I can say this... My V710 had excellent call reliability where the Treo 650 does not. You wouldn't beleive how hard I've looked for an extending antenna for my new treo because of the HORRIBLE signal and dropped calls that I have gotten in the ONE WEEK that I've had this device.
As a device, my BlackBerry is as someone else has mentioned ROCK SOLID, as far as applications go without crashing. I think I may have had to pull the battery off my Blackberry once in the year that I've had it and that was because of an unsupported 3rd-party application. Voice quality on the blackberry with a GSM ne...
