Verizon Blackberrys

That is one thing I wish the enV Touch had, was wifi.

PROTIP: Verizon BB service is technologically inferior to AT&T, no joke. And the Tour? A downgraded Bold in a Curve case. I laughed at it. I have an 8820, love it to death, but with the Bold and now the Storm 2, it's just getting too EW for me. When my dad upgrades to the Storm 2, I will finally get a Bold. I absolutely LOVE AT&T service, it's great everywhere. You get at least a bar of EDGE wherever you go, if not 3G. It's also faster on AT&T, too. I just don't buy into all that Iphone hype, and I've had windows phones. Boot time is not something a phone should have. Period. My 8820 has served me well for over a year, replacing my old windows flip phone and my MP3 player. It's just a little... old now.

Also, I don't buy into the Curve and Tour and whatnot. It's either 8800, Bold, or Storm.



And the Pearl? Jeez. No comment.

Oh the choices in this age of electronic plenty!  Power user at a coffee shop demonstrated her Samsung Omnia.  Very impressive, especially with her stylus skill.  The Omnia ii looks even better and should be available soon at Verizon. 

The Omnia ii apparently also uses the same rather ugly external stylus as an option. The ii's improved display may not benefit from a stylus as much as the Omnia does.  I never considered a stylus before, but I am now after seeing this woman's adroitness with it in text messages (with the program translating her printing to type input) and general more precise touch control.

The Blackberry Storm II also is debuting soon, so will have to compare that with Omnia ii.  Always tradeoffs somewhere.  Whichever, will certainly look for a big Verizon discount which may be harder to get with a new model.

 I just got a Blackberry Tour and love it , does all I need to and my emails work just fine . Plus its easy to use and is fast so far . I looked at Iphones and others but this does what I need without having to look thru the books so much . Also downloaded Golflogix.com which is a nice GPS tool for use on the golf course ,  for $40.00 its just an add on toy but its fun and works great .

That golf add-on already has cost me a lot of money.  Haven't decided on the wireless phone replacement yet, but after researching golf assistants, couldn't resist getting a Garmin Approach G-5.  Very snazzy.  Will definitely improve my golf game, say, from 108 to maybe even 102!

 6 Strokes less is an improvment , but heck 102 is around the average player . I shoot about the same on a real good day I can hit low 90's . But I did hear about the Garmin and its supposed to be good .
