Smartphone Help... and viewing MCB on smartphones? - Page 2

I've had several blackberries and currently have a Wing.... mainly because I wanted to be more familiar with Windows Mobile. My take is that Blackberries are a great "PDA" and an excellent phone / email client. The Wing is a good "PDA" but kind of clunky for a phone. I rarely missed a call on by Blackberries but often miss calls for various reasons on this stupid Wing.

If stats help at all... we deployed about 500 phones to employees and let them choose. Most people who chose the Dash like it. Almost everyone with a Blackberry wouldn't trade it for anything... and 95% of the people who got the Wings either hate them or broke them so they could get a blackberry.

i use a wing, great phone, i have had mine for a year now and i only had one problem, ( i was saving all my sent sms's, after updating that it works fine) one thing to remember is these phones (windows mobile) like e-mails that are pop3 and support relaying, g-mail is no problem on this device, good luck in the choice you make.

Dash is a nice device, and for free it's a great price, but I NEED my touchscreen Wing. there is SO much you can do on a touchscreen Windows Mobile device.

ATT has phone called the Tilt, it has 3G which is the faster data transfer mode and the biggest keyboard and screen I have seen,it looks like a mini-laptop when open.I don't know how good it is for windows apps,but it might be worth a look.

I use the Tmobile Dash (HTC S620) because I didnt want a touch screen.
I dont like touch screens, they are a pain.
In my opinion HTC makes some of the best PDA and Smartphones available.
Check out all the phones on their site.

HTC - Smart Mobility

You'd be surprise how many unlocked HTC phones not offered by your major carriers show up on Ebay.
I wouldnt mind trying one of those HTC Touch Cruises but 700.00 for an uninsured toy is just not going to happen.

touch cruise items on eBay.com

I have seen things for Voyagers lately. They look pretty cool, and have a full keyboard and landscape screen while still being pretty compact.

So true.

Painfully so ... I just despise the apple approach. They are singlehandedly retarding mobile device technology by years ... literally ...
