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.

Thanks! Don't want to look dumb.

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.
