Having been a PC technician and web designer for over 15 years prior to becoming an real estate agent, I would always favor anything Microsoft Windows based because I felt I had the best options as far as compatibility with other programs.
And since I use Outlook, I thought that having a Windows-based PDA would be best.
Well, it took me this many years to break down and admit that Microsoft isn't always on the ball.
For years, I had problems with email on my PDA. I mean, I would get it, but there's was always something funky I had to put up with.
Anyway, I am LOVING my new Blackberry Tour 9630.
And my emails are working as smooth as butter.
My partner and I are saving alot of money, because we combined our plans and are now getting more and paying less with Verizon Wireless. Plus we were able to take advantage of the Buy-One-Get-One-Free offer!!
Lesson learned: Don't think you know it all no matter how many years you've been in the business and always stay flexible.
For me, it came down to iPhone vs. Blackberry. The Safari browser on the iPhone is a little richer, but all-in-all, the Blackberry's advantages from a business standpoint stacked up better than the iPhone.
REALTORS: AS AN ACCOMPLISHED PC TECHNICIAN, TRUST ME ON THIS ONE. YOU'RE MUCH BETTER OFF AS A BUSINESSPERSON WITH THE BLACKBERRY.
