Do I need an iphone or a backberry?

Tracyk_2

I need to obv make phone calls - but would like to be able to get all my email accounts straight to my phone when I'm out and about.

I have a freeserve account, hotmail account and 2 work email addresses. One uses windows remote web workplace and the other uses cPanel x ??

Can I have a phone that automatically receives all 4 lots of emails automatically? Or would I still have to have internet access and access emails as I do now from my laptop?

heh heh , you are not to mention any iphone shortcomings
blackberry are supposed to be geared for emails, but I don't know never owned either of the ones mentioned, but all the phones I have had over the years mange email absolutely fine.

WebOS from Palm all the way! iPhone is a fad and it's good because Apple say so and they charge you a bomb just because it can run apps, which you have to buy.......!

I have had both the iphone and the Blackberry and i would say that the iphone does email incredibly well. i have 4 email accounts pushed to my iphone and they work amazingly well.

my suggestion would be to ask your companies IT department if they will allow you to have work emails on your personal phone. if they say yes then ask them if they will allow you to use the BES (blackberry enterprise server), if they say yes then i would recommend you get a blackberry as it will be fully synced.

I've owned a Google G1 and a Blackberry 9700.

Andriod is more fun, will let you do more things. Blackberry is king of email and calendar sync but other than that is quite limited although it will do the top 10 things an andriod phone can do like facebook, opera mini browser, gtalk, google calendar synch, weather etc.

The new blackberrys do have brill screens though and nice battery life. These things lessen my need to get another andriod. I like hard keyboards and there are only a couple of andriod phones with hard qwerty keyboards out so I'm happy with the blackberry choice. I have gmail and work email on my blackberry, you can choose whether to mix them up for easy access to one box or have them seperate. Same goes for blackberry messenger and SMS.

Thanks guys - I'll ask my IT guy at both places of work if I can get them sync'd. It means I can get out and about more and not be tied to my sloowwww laptop!
