Blackberry is an awesome phone for business. In the short time I had mine, I found it the most careful and thorough with its synchronization. All of my business clients seem to love it. My problem was that it wasn't a Palm, I guess - no touch screen, no grafiti, no search option.
I keep getting mixed messages on the Windows mobile phones from different T-Mobile reps. It may be personal preference or because Windows mobile 7 is about to be released. If I go with a windows phone, it will probably be the TouchPro2 because it uses a stylus which means I can add handwriting recognition. The calendar, however will remain cumbersome. I did test drive the iPad and was over all very impressed. It has a nice large screen but would fit in a normal, but larger purse, making it very portable. It had a beautiful, though faulty calendar. You would think with a touch screen you could touch a time slot and just enter the appointment, but no. You could touch the time slot and then the + and the appointment would come up in a window. If you wanted to change an existing appointment, that goofy awkward time wheel came up. You would also think that if you needed to change an appointment, you could just put your finger on it and move it, but it didn't work like that. The other thing I found is when I went on the web and clicked through a few sites, I couldn't seem to find the back button. From the little I know about the iTouch, it worked similarly but with a nice big bright screen. -- Be well, Toni Roberts Atlanta/Marietta/Smyrna/Vinings Blog: http://touchprints.blogspot.com/ On Sun, Apr 4, 2010 at 5:17 PM, Craig Froehle <[email protected]>wrote: > > > On Sun, Apr 4, 2010 at 12:07 PM, ldouglas > <[email protected]<ldouglas%40gmail.com>> > wrote: > > So with Microsoft and RIM controlling the desktop market > > How does RIM control the "desktop market"??
