Good thread !!!! Does the b'berry crash like the Verizon Treo? I have a 650P, wifey a 700P. Both stock as a rock, no extra programs on them. We are long time Palm users. While on a phone call with a client, wifely goes to put an appointmant on the calendar and crash !!! About 3x's a week. If the b'berry doesn't crash, I will gamble the next two years on one. I can always comeback to a Treo. When crashes start to happen too often, I do Dbscan on them, helps for awhile...

I find myself disappointed with the minor improvements that the Treo has made over the past few months, and with no major changes in sight for the Treo...I've been thinking about switching to a Blackberry. I've never owned one, but I do hear far less complaints about them than I do for the Treo. Does anyone know the pros and cons of a Blackberry phone? > > > > Caryn >
