Blackberry or other email enabled phone?

thebroker1980

Hi People,

My P990 is playing up so I am looking around for new phones, I need something which I can use easily to send and recieve emails. I have seen the Blackberry 8300 (Curve) which looks like it will support all my business needs in terms of email, and personal needs in terms of Camera and video function... The only draw back is that I can't get this through traditional upgrade with orange....!

Can anyone suggest a better option maybe in terms of a email enabled handset? or were I maybe able to purchase this phone on upgrade keeping the same network and number...?

Thanks in advance

Steve

All of the Orange SPV/MPV's support email, syncing with Microsoft Outlook etc.. as they are Windows Mobile / Windows Smartphone powered.

I totally agree with swift - ive been using a Windows Mobile PPC for the past few years - and wouldn't probably change from that.
If you go with a company like T-mobile they give you great data packages on Web and Walk. You can do all the emailing and surfing you need with these devices.

A lot of the companies will try and make you pay about £5 a month extra for PUSH email so watch out for that.

For PUSH email - you can use emoze (emoze.com) - that is what I use and it is free. Ofcourse it does go against your data rates - but on WebNWalk you get like 2GB usage - so unless you are a super heavy user, you would be fine.

Sorry to hijack, but does the Nokia N95 also synch with Outlook? I know it works with Symbian OS not WM5.

Many thanks!

OP... if the camera is important go for the M3100 as it's got a flash, one thing that annoys me with the other SPV's.
