    The only reason I have one is because I'm required to for work. If you don't need one for that, I wouldn't reccomend it.

    I just got done borrowing a blackberry from work. I hated it. You're much better off with a Smart Phone/Pocket pc like the treo or the samsung Blackjack.

    I'd avoid the Treo 700... a friend of mine had one (well, actually went through 3) for about a month and had all sorts of problems with it crashing, locking up and loosing everything. Apparently from what the rep at verizon was telling him, that it was rushed to the market before all the bugs were out, and has been plagued since.

    I like the looks of the Q, but I have never used one...

    I have the pearl...hehe..PEARL...yeah, I'm that much of a dork. I freakin LOVE it. It is my calendar, my phone book, my schedule, my music, my computer - oh yeah, and my phone. Seriously, I am addicted and can't live without it. It's quick once you connect as long as you have good signal, which is almost anywhere I've been. It would suck if you have big hands, b/c the buttons are small, but my hands are small, so I'm good. My only HUGE complaint? I can't seem to connect to the PIT on it!!! But, I do have access at work and home when I need it. Lol...I can go a few hours without being here...usually!

    I have a Q. I need to be accessible to certain clients 24-7, so it serves a purpose, but I have now become addicted to the damn thing. Its nice to be able to get emails at all times, so that I do not get overwhelmed by them (biz ones) all at once!

    i used to have a blackberry i7100 from nextel.. the novelty of it wore off pretty quick. yeah.. the unlimited internet was nice, but it was so slow i never really used it. the only thing i miss from it was a full keyboard, makes sending text messages easier

    Does anyone know how to cut ot pieces of songs to use as ringtones?

    I want to use a McCready Even Flow solo, or perhaps the end of Severed Hand, and I dont know how to only use the "section" of the songs that I want.

    aside from the cost of these things...is there extra cost associated with using the internet? like checking email? is it just air time or how does that work? im on the market for a new phone and while i like the smaller cell phones...i like the idea of being able to check email anywhere...and if the internet is free thats nice to have whenever the fuck you need.

    i was just in the verizon store asking about info and they recommended motorola Q.

    yeah, def not free. I just lowered my voice minutes, and got an internet plan. 29 a month. A little pricey, imo, but for me its worth it because I dont have internet access at work.

    is that 29 bucks a month on top of the usual like 40 a month for like 400 anytime minutes? if so then fuck that! lol

    I pay about 75 a month, including unlimited air time online, unlimited texts, unlimited nights, weekends and myfaves minutes +600 anytime minutes, and insurance. Not bad when you consider it is my everything. I don't know if it would be worth it if I had a computer at home, though.

    I was thinking of getting a blackberry or something like that, but it would not be for work, and I couldn't justify the extra cost of internet. Some people have really cute computer handheld things on the metro, and it just looks like a cool toy.
