Blackberry.....Bold....Includes Wi-fi! No other choice for business!

The Storm is very flakey...but the bold is all you'll ever need!

Well, 3G is not Wifi :)
3G is great when on the train or in a taxi, but when in an actual office and when not using a desktop, Wifi will make a big difference

Also I can't even make a phone call on my mobile at home, let alone browsing the Internet :lol:

There is a mobile Gmail client, java based, that I run on my HTC device. It doesn't have calendar functionality but you can reach the Google calendar in a browser. The latest HTC HD has a very good screen and a full keyboard. For developing I think that's where it has an advantage over an iPhone, a full qwerty keyboard. Along with Wifi, HSDPA, GPS (works fine with google maps but it's not a satnav replacement) it's the full spec.

I have very little issue with mine when browsing, using outlook or making calls. Only when I am in the middle of nowhere do I lose signal, briefly, and even tho the network is the same it seems to keep signal where my last nokia didnt.

I forgot to add, it's touch screen with a stylus as well as the full qwerty keyboard. Has touchFLO like the iPhone for the same/similar browsing experience. So I think it matches the iPhone in most areas but has an advantage with the keyboard, stylus and wifi. Also, iPhone doesn't do picture messaging!!! WTF is that about!!!

My HTC has two cameras, I recently used the screen side one to take a self portrait for a security card and emailed it to the security staff as I was standing at their desk. Job done.

Jon is probably better placed to answer the Blackberry questions... but

Bold is awesome!! not touch screen but by far the best device out there for business use.

Iphone is good but not great for applications and documents etc.

iphone cannot do mms but you can take photos and email etc. I can honestly say in 14 months of owning it that this has even been an issue. If you get one sent to you then you connect straight through and can see it online.

I've used a Blackberry Curve for over a year and its seems the best 'phone I've had for business use. Synching contacts, emails, calender etc. with Outlook very easy.

Been looking at the Storm but can't upgrade 'till March so I'll be interested if anyone else has any comments. Aparantly battery life is not so good?

I would wait for the curve replacement if you are not in any rush.

it's very good and would be my choice

Thanks Lily

I thought the Storm was the curve replacement?
