oh yeah i guess I should say I wanna stay with rogers and keep the same number too!

have you checked out hte new BlackBerry's? they are really nice. or you can get the other PDA phone, i think by siemens. i would still recommend Blackberry. They synchronise with ur PC's scheduling. It can go on the net from anywhere, and their just a flat rate per month, and they loook awsome too.

treo all the way

i have the motorola i930 its awsome, has mp3, videos, windows mobile media, also a mike phone.

Hey Akmeel -- buy the hardware from Wireless Wave in Pacific Centre. They seem to have the cheapest price. They sell hardware for Rogers, Telus, Bell and anyone else.

What kind of attachments are you wanting to receive bro?

When it comes to just email, Blackberry is far superior as that's what the thing is designed for.

[Gusto]

i had a blackberry for a while too, and for email it kicked ass. but without any multimedia capabilities, it doesn't do it for me. it doesn't even have a file store or a memory slot to hold more data (at least the ones i buy at work don't). blackberry is good if you're just using it for business. also, everything i've read/heard about the lawsuit says that canadian service will not be affected, but who knows.

Akeel, please do not do the Argyle Phat Farm phone cover again.....you need something not so pretty!

I would second that. The sidekick sucks balls, dont even think about it. ebay.ca is your best bet for saving a few bucks, plus ya might even find something thats not available local = uber elite steez.

Ahh no offense to Jeff as it's not his fault, but don't do that.

Rogers Plus where Jeff works charges $650 (I think) for the new Blackberry unit.

Wireless Wave is $600.

Both of these prices are quoted if you buy the unit out right without any contract of course.

just got a call from our telus rep and apparently their blackeberries are down to $99 on a new contract now.

mostly word docs but also pdfs and excel spreadsheets...basically i need something that does the following...

send and recieve email from multiple pop accounts (minimum 2, ideally 4)
be able to send/recieve/edit .doc files
full keyboard (i hate predictive txt)
i dont give two shits if it has a camera, video, or mp3 player

thoughts?

Check Jeremie or Clints phone Akeel, they both rock.

And if the phone is for Fido, you can get it unlocked!

buy a palm pilot, or whatever they are called.
