Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / October 2005treo 650 with cingular
It looks like a good phone but I hear people who love it and people who hate it. My contract is up with tmobile and I'm debating upgrading to the blackberry 7105t . The salesman is pushing the treo and my brother got a verizon treo and loves it but I understand that the verizon treo has less issues than the cingular treo. The rollover minutes for my work would be really useful. thoughts? thank you >It looks like a good phone but I hear people who love it and people >who hate it.

My contract is up with tmobile and I'm debating upgrading [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > thank you You might try to take a look at the Nokia 9300, the phone I've been waiting for. It's been out in Europe for some time now and is supposed to be available through Cingular in the U.S. starting sometime next month. It's hinged along the long side, like a mini-laptop, which gives you a more nearly usable keyboard and screen than the Palm form factor, at least in my opinion. It reminds me a good deal of the old Psions, which were my favorite PDA's for many years.

He'd rather have a Treo, but he works for the company that makes it, and got it for free.

Possible, I always have a hard time remembering Nokia model numbers. But the description provided is the same: Hinged on the long edge, folds up like an old Psion with a QWERTY keyboard on one half and a display on the other.

All of that applies to both. The 9500 also supports WiFi, has a camera, is substantially bigger and heavier. The 9300 is a little lighter than the Treo, a littler smaller in two dimensions and a little longer in one. SignatureRemove NOPSAM to email www.daviddfriedman.com Actually I've seen it and it IS a brick, however it has a gorgious screen and may be worth it is you don't mind the Blackberry system however. Fred >> It is alleged that David Friedman claimed: >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Is it possible that your friend has a 9500? It's quite a lot larger. When you call it a brick, are you comparing it to a small cellphone or to a PDA? It combines the functions of both. If all you want is a cellphone, you can surely find somethng smaller, but if you what you want is a combination PDA cell phone, I'm not sure you can. Comparing it to the Treo, which is what the original query was about: Treo Size/Weight: 11.3x5.9x2.3 cm (178 g) Nokia 9300: 13.2x5.1x2.1 cm (167 g) So the Nokia is a little lighter than the Treo, a little narrower and thinner, but a little longer. > Actually I've seen it and it IS a brick, however it has a gorgious screen > and may be worth it is you don't mind the Blackberry system however.

The 9300 looks to me about the size of the Revo--the smaller Psion. It's big for a cell phone but I think about average for a PDA, so if you routinely carry a PDA, as I do, you are effectively getting a cell phone with additional size of zero. > I remember those old psions I'd rather not have something so big. > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >rather have a Treo, but he works for the company that makes it, and got > >it for free.

As for Treo vs Blackberry, which one has the features YOU want? Mind, I really like my Treo 650... The Verizon Treo probably has fewer issues than the original release of the Cingular Treo because VZW got it later, after some post-release issues were found, so they got a newer firmware from the get-go. Cingular Treos have an updated firmware available, and they should be distributing units with the newer software out of the box by now.
