Opinions BB Curve 8830 vs Palm 800w


I'm not sure which one to go with. If you have either please share your thoughts.

I'm probably going to go with a 1500 family plan Talk/Msg/Share/Data (whatever it's called... the price is decent).

Thanks,
Dirty-Harry

Re: Opinions BB Curve 8830 vs Palm 800w


Well... no replies, but I'll post my results.

I got my wife the Curve and myself the 800w.

My 800w has to be plugin allot, my wifes Curve will be at 80% full.
I've had to reset my phone 3 times in 2 weeks, my wifes Curve... never.
My 800w ringer is not very loud and the speakerphone is on the back.
The 800w almost looks like a Centro, except the case has a somewhat rubberized plastic (or w.e it's called) I find the Centro kind of cheap looking.

800w
Pros:
Small, yet resolution is 320 x 320
WiFi

Cons:
Horrible Battery life
Looks like a Centro
Windows Mobile (resetting 1 or 2 times a week)

I think I'm going to take it back and get a Curve.

Re: Opinions BB Curve 8830 vs Palm 800w


I returned the 800w and got a Blackberry Curve. Best Buy had them for $99 and no STINKING REBATES. I HATE REBATES!!

Anyway, I like the Curve better then the Treo. My only beef is with email formatted in HTML doesn't look good. I tried an app called BB Smart email viewer, but it didn't help much.

any recommendations?
