I have recently acquired a RIM Blackberry 8700 from work. This is the current latest model (which should reign about 1 month) My previous organizer was a Palm V which is old old old. As you can imagine, I was flabbergasted at the leaps in technology.

When I am mobile (in a meeting, in the... Read full review »

The iPhone is the one phone I almost never use for phone calls...

Pros Many functions. Sexy looking. Easy to use with my MINI and other Apple products.
Cons Battery life. AT&T exclusive provider. Email. Zooming in.
Recommended it? Yes

I love this phone so much I couldn't imagine life without it. If your not too tech savy then I would recommend it. It has a good battery life and air... Read full review »
