Long time listener, first time caller.
I have the Treo 650 and hate it.
People cannot hear me well and it crashes and freezes a lot. I need to bring it in to be replaced since it broke again and am thinking of exchanging for the BlackBerry 7520 GPS enabled. I use the Treo for emails ALOT so the blackberry is very appealing. I know I will hate it's phone but I am willing to sacrifice that for the other connection abilities. Does anyone else own the Blackberry 7520? What do you think about it? Are you wanting a Treo instead?
Please help me make this decision.
Thanks!

i've got the 7100g and i can't complain. the phone's as good as any of the motorolas i've owned in the past, and i really like the key layout.

i have neither. but i like the treo better. its palm, so better for adding into. also black berrys are ugly.

I think you'll find that all the reviews are favouring the blackberry over any of the trios. Check out e-opinions.com or similar review sites...

Anything with a stylus makes you look like a punk-ass-bitch.
Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

i use the 650 and love it. no problems really. occasionally it does crash yeah. but once a month or so.
was playing around with a blackberry yesterday and the GUI is totally shit and hard to navigate compared to the palm
there might be a software update that you can hotsync to update your palm OS.

I only have the 600 treo and it's pretty good. no complaints, but something happend and all my contacts were wiped out.
I love it, way better than the black berry, the look and feel. I wish i waited for the 650 bluetooth.

If the only extra feature you use on the tro is email, the blackberry might be better for you - its more like a cell phone with a keyboard than a pda, so it wont crash as much or miss calls and all that, but the interface does suck, so does the speakerphone.. i personally have the big ugly xv6600 windows pda phone and i can remote desktop into my server over verizons wireless broadband and do minor updates and fix any problems on websites immediately, from everywhere, and that makes it very worth it.

ourcommon, why did your trea suck? can you elaborate? I love mine but it's only 600, so i was assuming that i would love the 650 even more.
