Blackberry, HTC or Nokia? Which one is more appropriate for office, work and internet use only? Thanks.

    Well ignoring the Spam above I would go and have a play with a variety of phones to see what you actually like.

    And how much you want to spend.

    I have tried blackberries but not a fan, my HTC Desire can be configured in almost any way and is superb for browsing.
    I used to use nothing but Nokias but feel they are sadly lacking nowadays and I would not go back to them
  • Despite recent moves by a couple of blue-chip companies from Blackberry to iPhone, I still think BB is the way to go for professional use. It's all down to individual preference, however, and the best thing to do is to go into a couple of shops, try and find someone who knows what they are talking about and discuss your needs with them.
    If I've helped you please show your appreciation by using the "Thanks" button

    Decide what you want to do with the phone then check out the specs and reviews for each model .
    For me it has to be the Samsung Galaxy S i9000 but that may be overkill for others .
    techradar has a mag out listing most of the current phones also they are on line .

    Get a Blackberry Bold 9700, it's the way to go for business use.

    Blackberry for pros, Iphone for pose LOL

    Blackberry is good for emails and business use. It is not the best for personal entertainment, where iPhone and HTC are still way better.
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

    email - I run four email accounts on my Desire, with no issues.
    work - as in what exactly? Spreadsheets, documents?
    play - lots of games and various other daft apps in the Android market place
    Networking - the Desire comes with Facebook and twitter apps installed although there are many others around

    for business id say blackberry, but it depends on what 'software/programs' you would be using. the HD2 pocket PC would be better for programs though, like Office and PDF's e.t.c.
