Should I get the Instinct, A Palm Treo, or a Blackberry?

[LaydeeBug]

It's time to upgrade my phone. :woohoo: I am starting to text more and more, and my phone does not have a keypad, so that's a must.

Does anyone have any advice? I'd appreciate it. :hi:

1. Go with the Blackberry... McSame invented it, you know.

2. I just got a new blackberry. Came Saturday. the 8830 World Edition.

Love it.

3. are the buttons on the keypad really tiny?

I *hate* having to push a number three times to get the letter i want.

4. Not at all. I can't stand that either, which is why I didn't get the Pearl.

It has a cool trackball and it was easy to sync with my work email and the bluetooth. I have another phone that I use for most of my calls, but this one is for work, family, etc.

9. They say it does better than the iphone...that sounded hinky but

what's your favorite thing about it?

10. My favorite thing is the integration

You can go from looking up an address for something like the cheapest gas in your area or the closest Italian restaurant, to then calling them, to then using GPS to get to their location. All of this with a few clicks.

You don't need to use the stylus but it does come with one. It's very touch responsive without the stylus so I never use mine.

One drawback I've found so far is that the mapping company they use for the GPS could be updated a bit better. The web browser is mediocre but for my needs, it's just fine. I really love it.
