i'm waffling between upgrading to the blackberry pearl or the treo 680. pros? cons?
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
So I'm beginning to see the treo, blackberry or iPhone as the logical replacement for my phone. I think all 3 will require changing carriers. Not a big deal, we just have to make sure the carrier signal can reach husbands job. (one of the reasons we left AT&T to start with)

You can play with my iPhone and check it out when I see you in January.

You just want to drool over my technology. I know how you are.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
omnis_audis, my iPhone battery is okay I think. I mean, if I just use it for the odd phone call, it lasts a good 5 days between charges. However, if I use it for email, music and web browsing I have to remember to charge it once a day otherwise I run it down pretty quick. I don't know why I'm moaning really - it's much better than a laptop battery, it's just a pain when I get the thing out and realise I haven't bothered to charge it.

I had the same experience with two different models of Treo and an HTC Windows Mobile handset. If I used the data services throughout the day it would kill the battery by the end of the day. My iPhone is about the same. If I do constant video viewing on it, I can get about 7 hours out of the battery.

The status is NOT quo.
I've never owned a phone that did internet etc that didn't need to be charged every night.

Mine's a 700p, and it freezes up constantly, usually while texting. If I try to run Google Maps, the entire phone shuts down instantly (which never used to happen, but has been the case for the past couple of months).
I'm at the point now where I have to restart it at least once a day. My sister has the same problems with her 680 (which is on a different network, just so we're not blaming Verizon). Palm is just an old rickety OS with stability issues.
