I’m with Verizon and will be staying with them. I need the Smartphone pretty soon and still have a few months in my contract, so I don’t want to switch networks.
I’m looking at the Palm Treo 650, Samsung SCH-i730 and Motorola Q.
Basically, I want to be able to answer e-mails on the road, no matter where I am. I also want to get on the internet. I do need to open attachments once and a while, so I don’t think a Blackberry would work.
The main problem I am thinking is that I use Roadrunner and often have a hard time getting e-mails outside of my home computer. So, if you have used any of these with sucess using Road Runner, that would be especially helpful.
The Palm seems to be pretty good. Samsung also seems like it would work, but I have had a Samsung for the last two years on my other line, it has been replaced 3 times and still doesn’t reall work, so that is a concern. Motorola Q seems to be missing some things and was mostly concerned with the looks.
I also read a review that the Q didn’t work well with POP 3 e-mail, which is what Roadrunner uses, so that could be a big problem for me.
Other than which phone, is there anything I need to be concerned about other than the phone? I would get unlimited data and I understand that anywhere I could get cell coverage I could get online.
Also, do you know anything about the Verizon protection plan. I see 3 different options, I’ve only really been told about the $5 plan. Does the $6 plan cover a lot more, maybe batteries, no deductible, etc.
If you can provide me with any info it would be great, any thing I need to consider or think about, or whatever.
Thanks!
