sawilson 1 Posted May 4, 2006 So, my old boss has offered to buy me a new phone where I can access my email from while on the road. I currently have T-mobile as my wireless so I would kind of like to stay with them. What should I look for when looking into options? Any suggestions?

CA_7 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Size matters. Seriously, I have an older Blackberry and it is like carrying around a brick. The newer Blackberrys seem to be much smaller http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/Detail...3f-8d6c6ea6baf9 Some of the new Pocket PCs from Sprint and Cingular are sweet. They look like a Palm but flip up and have a keyboard like the Sidekick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redtodd 7 Posted May 4, 2006 I just got a Blackberry and I like it. It is large and bulky, but I like the fact that I have everything on it. The new Blackberry is even bigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sawilson 1 Posted May 4, 2006 Why would your old boss by you a phone? Uhm, cuz we were looking at them yesterday cuz we saw one a client had that we really liked. I told him the one I liked and he said he would buy me one too. Said it was because he knew it would make me happy. But hey, who am I to say no?? Size matters.

kraziness 0 Posted May 4, 2006 I have one. I know we've been through this on here recently, do a search. Anyways, I have This one (also with T-mobile). I like that it syncs up with my outlook (contacts and calendar), I like that I have email and internet access whenever I have cell service. The only two downsides are: 1. The size, although it really doesn't bother me, it easily fits inside my pocket (you'll want to lock it), except that the screen scratches easily. I (most of the time) keep the holster on the inside of my pocket, you could fit it in a purse with no problem. 2. The speaker on mine is really sensitive; people can't hear me if there's ANY background noise (wind, cars, talking, etc.). You can get an inexpensive bluetooth headset to remedy that problem though.
