I'm thinking about ordering smartphones for my office. I'm wondering what you are all wondering - looking for some advice. I am looking at the BB 8700 and the Treo 700 right now.

Thanks

Treo isn't a stable device whereas the BlackBerry is a stable device. Someone mentioned earliuer that you can't use the BB for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc, but you can. You would have to pay to have the applications added on to your BB. Now, the BlackBerry also has the full wireless keyboard that you can use with it just as the Treo does.

The Treo doesn't have push email, but you can always add on applications such as Snapper Mail or Chatter Email to get push email for the Treo.
