| Re: Agreed.. I'm an Apple & Mac fan, but I won't be buying an iPhone.
First off, I can't bring myself to pay upwards of $400 to replace something I've dropped 5 times in the past 6 months (my cell phone).
Second, I'm not interested in a touch screen that doesn't have a QWERTY keyboard attached to it. I use my phone more for TXT messaging and mobile e-mail than I do for phone calls.
Third, Cingular (now AT&T)? BLECH. It stinks, and I don't like it. I've finally found a carrier I'm happy with (Verizon Wireless). I have no intention of leaving. Not to mention my seething white hot hate for anything AT&T. Blackmailing thieves. Did I mention I hated AT&T?
I'll probably go with a Motorola Q as my next phone. I almost never sync my phone to my computer anyway, so I really don't care if it's compatible with my Mac. I'm not a huge fan of Windows Mobile, but considering I can get a Q from Verizon for $129 with a contract, and the damn Treo is closer to $400 itself, it's a no brainer for me, especially when I have no intention of using my phone as a PDA, but more as a mobile internet device....

| Re: Agreed.. said by Ahrenl :That's a touchscreen keyboard. No tactile feedback = slower to use. Exactly. I have big hands and fingers, I need something with real buttons.
spamd. In all seriousness, let me know what sucks about the Q. I'm not looking for a new phone until September/October and I would appreciate any input. I wouldn't want to be saddled with a lemon for 2 years....

Hillsboro, OR | Ditto that. Touchscreen only limits the usefulness for a hardcore road warrior. And, being locked out from adding any apps to it sucks as well. | |
