I had a Palm phone. The draw back is occationally they loose their internal 
battery power the the Flash, and you loose all the software and configs 
loaded.
So its hard to rely on anything you put on it, and must rely on the Sync to 
destop for data retention.
Do any of the hand helds, have rock solid storage systems, that are near 
impossible to wipe out? Such as Compact Flash or HardDisk?


I LOVE my Sprint Phone. It has taken more abuse than any device on earth 
should be capable of taking, and keeps ticking. (dropped off a tower at 200 
ft, Caught up in a Car Wheel well (wrapped around front wheel drive shaft) 
and driven 20 miles).  And the Voice quality is the BEST or most consistent 
of any service that I've used in DC, based on attempting to communicate with 
Field techs with their various phone service provider brands.  Where the 
Sprint falls short is Internet Access and messaging.  We were never able to 
figure out how to pass data into the needed messaging field correctly, and 
it does not have full Internet Access for remote anywhere access to do 
critical low bandwidth things like remote access to reboot radios.


The Cingular on the other hand, had crappy voice, but we get meaningful 
easilly to check alerting, and Instant Internet access adequate for low 
bandwidth usage.
As much as I hate to leave Sprint after 10 years, I may have to change to 
Cingular, or get an EVDO portable device.


I never really understood the Blackberry thing. But what I will say is that 
every executive that uses a Blackberry, that I do business with,  has 
excellent and timely communication with me. I don't believe in 
cooincidences. There is something uniquely advantages about the Blackberry 
other than just its exchange integration. But I have not put my finger on 
what it is.


I've avoided the srpint change because my hearing is so bad, and the Sprint 
makes all the difference. But in todays generation, as an IT company we can 
not ignore the mobile broadband advantage.  I still believe that for the 
average consumer, portal broadband is unnecessary. But for support 
personelle and mobile work force, it is a REAL big time and money saver. 
Technology is the secret to response time.  Plus Sprint's evil billing 
practices have been getting annoying recently.  But then again, Sprint's 
unlimited Text Messaging doesn't send me random $400 Text message bills like 
Cincular had the ability to do from time to time.  (I think they charged per 
page, We had to change all our Alerting to be several lines, because the 
full report took 3 screens and trippled our bills).

No, EVDO and RTT1X are the data modulations that the PPC6700 can do, which the 
Sprint network supports.  The Sprint option plan for data is called 
PowerVision, and includes unlimited internet to the phone ... pretty sweet, and 
for only a few dollars a month over the phone service.  With PowerVision I 
don't think you're supposed to use it tethered to your PC ... they sell 
separate packages for EVDO PCMCIA cards.  But with the original installed 
Windows Mobile (don't download the sprint provided OS update) I can run dial-up 
network thru the phone via USB cable or bluetooth.  However, I find the PPC6700 
big display  slide-out keyboard sufficient for daily use.

Thanks to you David for the clue that there was a windows mobile version of 
Slingbox player.  Didn't know that.  Loaded it up and it's great!

In my experience, Blackberry is much better for emailing.  The scroll 
wheel and the software are a lot more intuitive for heavy email users.


Palm has more apps and is better for people that need to do web apps or 
special mobile apps.

Try an HP IPAQ 6515 (I have this one, with and sd wifi card) and 6900 (Has 
built-in wifi). With licensed Opera I can program my radios. Check email 
and so on. Also can use skype.

If it were me, I'd FIRST look around to see if anyone in the area has 
better coverage and/or prices.  We just moved away from Cingular and the 
problems are around the same but coverage is better and the costs are 
lower.  AND the support of a local company has been wonderful!  Walk into 
the store and the same people are there month after month, they know my 
name etc.


Next, I'd probably do blackberrys for the average guy.  Those that need 
network access to your gear could use the palms.


I'm looking for a palm or Q phone as soon as I can afford one.  Typing 
even short emails on a standard phone sucks.  And it would be cool to do 
some network stuff via a cell phone from time to time.  I'm not always in 
range of my own towers.  At least not with a laptop.


laters,

My cell plan for my office is due next month. Currently, we only have
voice plans.

However, I am considering adding data for a few of my employees to be
able to use email.

I have the option of Blackberry and Palm phones. For those of you that
have compares each, which solution would you recommend and why.

Thanks,
Cliff LeBoeuf
