I have for long questioned the validity of the Blackberry in the age when wireless email access has become ubiquitous. As Microsoft gets a better foothold in the mobile computing platform, their exchange 2003 wireless sync seems to be the way to go. I for one like the Audiovox SMT 5600 phone and has in fact remained my phone of choice for the last four months(Thats quite an achievement for the phone, since I suffer from extreme ADD when it comes to devices). From a carrier perspective, I see no value in sharing revenue with BlackBerry and much prefer to cut the middleman.|||111914301255842888|||Crackberry has had its run for too long6/22/2005 08:10:00 AM||| Balakumar|||Couldn't agree more. BB has had its time in the market. They have to find new avenues soon enough else their revenue stream is going to be based on existing "large" customers some of who are bound to follow the market trend sooner or later.
My device of choice would be the Treo 650 (if I need continuous email access - in and out). Else I would go with a sleeker device like the Razr (in black). Size matters!
