You have left one item out of an otherwise complete list of choices..."Nothing".
I was really trying to be a Treo-phile...really, I was. I owned a 650, two 680's and even a (thank God, for a short time only) 750...so I gave it all I had. But...to me, everything about the BlackBerry is better, seriously.
Simpler, easier to manipulate one-handed, slimmer/sexier, faster, more robust OS...much better email and overall communication performance, louder/clearer earpiece, better reception/signal-capture, MUCH more reliable and stable...and a more complete package altogether.
I'm not bashing the Palm OS or Treos in general, since I have friends that love them...and would never consider anything else, especially a BlackBerry. I have tried every smartphone out there...or almost every one, and the BlackBerry is the top of the heap IMHO...and I don't miss my Treos.
01-14-08 08:49 PM - Oh come on people!!!! Stop trying to be so politically correct! If you held a palm in your hand for three minutes, this question is not for you. This is an awesome poll Chef. This question is for the person who had a Treo on their hip for years and thought his/her world was right there in it. The fact that you now have a BB already shows that you know the Blackberry is a superior machine, but there are some things the BB can learn from Palm.
I had each model Treo as they came out, and just switched to a Curve because the Treo today is the same thing it was years ago. No new innovations. But, some of the built in applications are far better than the BB apps.
Here are my choices Chef, and kudos to you for having the guts to ask such a question. That's like going to Yankee stadium and asking fans what they miss about the Red Sox.
1) By far, the Tasks app on Palm. The look and way it works is way better. If you used a Palm for ten years, you'll know what I mean.
2) Calendar - The one thing I miss is the "look up" feature in the Palm OS that allows you to paste a contact's name and number with just a few letters of their first or last name".
3) Documents to go - The ability to create and edit Word and excel documents is priceless as a business person.
4) Video recording ability
5) SMS text ability to keep your texts with one person in a conversation format.
6) And what is it with third party. BB Applications that you have to buy so many without a trial??
One program I wish that was made for BB also is Pocket Quicken. If you are a Quicken desktop user and travel and used Pocket Quicken, you'll know exactly what I mean. Nothing even comes close. And I don't think Landware will ever develop it for BB
But don't get me wrong at all. I rather have my BB Curve, now all of four months old in my hand than an unreliable palm any day.
" Hello, my name is Jack, and I have been sober of Palm for three months now "
" Hello Jack "
" Now I'm a Crack - Berry addict!"
" Welcome Jack, Welcome "01-15-08 08:46 AM - Can I just first start off by saying I LOVE MY BLACKBERRY!?!
That being said, the things I miss the most are Datebk6 and the ability to change the resolution size. I paid a lot of money to have LASIK (LOL) so I should still have the ability to change my fonts to a ridiculously small size to fit more on my screen. I already have my fonts the smallest that they go on my Curve and would like to go even tinier....01-13-09 08:13 AM
