I own a small business, have no exchange server, I like a multi feature phone and use all the bells and whistles like camera, media player, calender etc.

It's come down to a tough decision, sure would appreciate some input.

I love the Treo 750 mainly the touch screen, it can lag a little when switching applications and we have Windows Mobile 6 to look forward to in the near future... the main thing that is holding me back is NO push email. Yes, I can get a 'hosted exchange server' but to 'push' 3 email accounts costs an average of $10 per account per month... checked out the freeware too, and had trouble installing it and getting it to work.

Then I got my hands on a BB Curve, it's wider, but thinner than the Treo, a little lighter, but in 5 minutes I"m receiving emails from our 3 accounts, instand/push with no problems.

However, I like the Treo more in many ways, MSN, Pocket Word, OneNote etc but battery is fair, no push email is a major drawback, and it's a really 'cool' phone.

BB Curve works out of the box, the applications aren't that great, it's a nice phone too, but I can only use on at a time

Which one would YOU choose and why?

Thanks!
 
I actually chose both. I bought a Curve w/ my ATT discount. The 750, I started a new line of service thru premier for free. The Curve is an awesome device and playing with the 750, it is also a pretty tight device, hence why I'm going to use both.

For your uses:

Camera: The Curve, hands down.
Media Player: The Curve, once again.
Calendar: The 750.
Push Mail: The Curve
Switching applications: Super fast on the curve.
Battery Life: Awesome on Curve, will inform you on the 750 when I play with it.
Browser: Curve, miles ahead of the 750.
Blackberry Messenger, JiveTalk make it the better of the two for messaging.

Overall I like the Curve better, minus the trackball (I love the scroll wheel).... Since I have it on BES, it isn't as good as I have IT restrictions, that I can bypass, but wouldn't for security reasons.


Pardon my writing as I am a bit twisted....
