You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

I like my RAZR v3 just fine.

I would love a Treo, but I couldn't justify the expense. The RAZR does pretty well by me, and I'm paying $20 a month for unlimited phone internet service.

The good part about the internet on my phone is that I can access Gmail. The bad part is that I cannot access here, and that makes me sad. I'm still thinking of cancelling the service, but I'm willing to wait a month or two to see how much use I get out of it.

Ooh, interesting about the data speed. It's a whole new world, man!

I'll see about a verizon trial.

So the Pearl says it has a media player - does that mean anything like being able to watch downloaded teevee and such? presuming I got a beefy enough memory card?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Yep, as long as the files are in the following formats: AVI, MP4, MOV, or 3GP. You can also listen to music in the MP3, AAC, MIDI, and WAV formats.

The Pearl uses a MicroSD card. The slot's located behind the battery, which could be somewhat annoying.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Really dumb question-- does Flickr work in such a way that if I email someone a link to my photos, they will see them? That is, does everyone else see horrible photos of boys in suits when they click here:

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Boys in suits, yes.

cool.

Any preferences on the Palm software vs. the BB? Pretty functionally the same?

For the most part. You can do a bit more with the Palm software, but I've found it's not really necessary. There also seems to be more add-on software out there, but BB is not far behind. I have noticed that my Treo tends to encounter fatal exceptions that cause it to reboot on a fairly regular basis. It's no more or less buggy than a Palm PDA would be.

I would like to see a BB with a touch screen, though. The click wheel is handy, but not quite the same.

Edit: Hand is not the same as handy.
