Looking for a work phone
 

Guys,

I know you comment on cells a lot so I figured I'll ask. I'm looking for a phone for business, so I want something utilizing Smartphone cabilities such as the Motorola MPX 220.

Any suggestions?

I don't know how quick you need it but T-Mobile & Cingular is going to be releasing some new HTC Smartphones in the next few months. Also there is going to be a new Treo coming out.

It also depends on which provider is good in your area. I like to have just Cingular or just T-mobile phone but Verizon is the only one which works in my area, therefore I carry 2 phones. Cingular is coming out with a HP IPAQ hw6515 phone PDA which runs on Windows Mobile eidition. Uses Goodlink software to make it work like a blackberry. Its supposed to be better than Treo 650. MotoQ is another cool phone from Motorola coming early next year. MotoQ is supposed to be offered by T-mobile.

Check out www.gsmarena.com for available and upcoming phones.

And that MotoQ is looking very attractive!!! :thumbup: Other than that i've heard very good things about the treo

the reliability of the carrier in you area should be your first critreria, then see what phones they offer

Thanks guys.

Gresch. I have all carrier available pretty well in my area EXCEPT for T-Mobile.

Well I would recommend Cingular because you can get any GSM phone imported and use it. If you need a phone that Cingular sells, I would look at the Blackberry 7100g or Nokia 6620.

If you want an imported phone, I would look at the HTC SDA.

The PalmOne Treo is also a good phone, I had one until I just switched to a Sony Ericsson Z800i.

Stay away from the Nokia 6620. It isnt a true smartphone and its HUGE. You can't really input stuff easily on the fly. Same with the mpx-220. My dad uses the Blackberry for work. Not that great. Make sure that what every you get has touch screen. Right now, the Treo's are excellent.
