Jeff, What would be a good phone from Verizon. Thanks, Rich

> What would be a good phone from Verizon. > I've gotten 5 private emails asking similar things. My rule of thumb is that if you've never had mobile phone with email, go with Palm OS. You won't be unhappy. It's simpler but has been proven by millions of previous users. If you're familiar with these higher-end phones, then you should consider Windows Mobile and the iPhone (although the iPhone is only AT&T for now). My problem with this generation of the iPhone is that you can't "tether" it to your laptop to give it internet access. It means needing an air card with another mobile plan, monthly fees, etc. These are all considerations when cruising. Looking at Verizon for a new smartphone user, I'd look at the Treo 700p ($150) and 755p ($250) but only if you need one this week. There are so many rumors about a Verizon Centro coming out soon - like this: http://tinyurl.com/2fdu8n If Verizon releases the Centro, it'll be $99 or less. It's smaller than the Treo's and been extremely popular. I would suspect that they'd include the same EVDO/IS95/CDMA2000 phone as on the 755p but it is something to check. ================================== Jeffrey Siegel M/V aCappella DeFever 53PH W1ACA/WDB4350 Castine, Maine www.activecaptain.com Content, Communications, Community ..
