Care to perform another miracle?! I have done about 10 hard resets (with Verizon and Palm) so I am game to try just about anything at this point!

I would try a Blackberry!

My flip phone has broken apart at the hinges again. Need some advice as to what to look at and to look for in replacing it. I'd like to upgrade at this point to something more ePRO and internet savvy. Any suggestions.....? I use Agent 2000 as my database program and Outlook 2003 as my email program. I'd like something that is compatible with our MLS program (Paragon 4). I appreciate any feedback and direction. Thanks!

Bill ?

I am a former Treo 700WX user. I now have a Blackberry Curve and it's terrific. Spend the hundred bucks (or whatever they are charging now) and stop whining. When I did this it was buy one Blackberry (any model) get one free. My son is using the free one.

You will thank me.

I have had many treos and had problems with them all. Changed over to a Blackberry and what a difference. Blackberry is the only way to go!

Does anyone have experience using the Blackberry with Top Producer? I currently have the Treo 7p and want to go to the Blackberry. I have not heard from anyone who uses TP for the Blackberry would like to know their experience.

I need to get a new phone and this discussion has been great to know I should get a Blackberry over the Treo. Has anyone used the Storm? I understand the Curve is a bit slow in using the web, and wondered if the Storm is any better. I am considering that model.

I am considering that model. ===================================================== Paula Had a TREO once for 4 days - gave it back - ridiculous crashes & "hang-ups". I have the Blackberry Bold (AT&T) since early January. Love it. Great for email - I can get rid of SPAM faster on the phone than on the computer. Great reception, nice volume, Phonebook searchable by first or last name. Syncs with Outlook. You can get the "Fob" for SUPRA lock box interface, but I found it very cumbersome trying to manipulate the phone and fob, so reverted to a SUPRA "D-Key" & have the FREE Pocket Real Estate Package from local BOR. Very Very Happy with this one.

The Storm is a very cool phone and there are a ton of apps available for it. It is a fairly new phone that was released to compete with the I-Phone. Right now the Storm is only available through Verizon and the Verizon network beats the tar out of ATT. Especially if you ever work outside of a major metro area. I have heard that there are some reliability/software issues with the storm. With any of the Blackberry's you'll need to get the fob add on to use the Supra Ibox. Personally, I would probably choose the Curve or one of the other models that has been out for a while that has a track record for reliability.
