Ok fellow Realtors please give me your input on which one you prefer.  I am leaning towards the Treo 755 because it will replace my lockbox key.

Any problems opening lockboxes?

Will it syn with Top Producer 8i database?

Will it work with CVR MLS?

Thanks for your time.

This one is EASY........... IMO, go with the BLACKBERRY!

I've had both, and it is hands down, the blackberry. I have an 8830 World Edition through Verizon and I love it. So much better than the TREO. No more daily (and sometimes more) soft resets, no more dropped calls, no more "locking up" when a call comes in...

Good Luck!!!

However if you have to choose one, go with the blackberry, I guess.

I have had the Blackberry for years, then switched to iPhone for a bit and now back to Blackberry.  I tried the Palm for a bit years ago but hated the thing.  I have been told, and have read, that Blackberry is going to have the Suprakey on it by the end of the year.  My personal vote is the BB as the Treo's have some issue's and crash often.  Personally, I would say Blackberry, but there are a lot of people that like the Palm's.

You can buy Top Producer Mobility for either, I haven't used it yet though.  I'm not sure which service you have, but AT&T is releasing the Blackberry Bold that looks awesome and Verizon is releasing the Touch which is supposed to have a touchscreen like the iPhone.

I have a good friend that has been with AT&T and Cingular for years and has nothing but bad things to say about Palm as they crash a lot and get returned a lot.  So, my vote is for the BB, but if you are with AT&T wait for the Bold which is supposed to release sometime this month, not sure about the Touch.

I have a blog going about this very subject going on in Activerain at LetOurFamilyHelpYours , go to the second blog with the same title with all of the comments to get an idea of the different phones.  There are people that swear by the Palm phones and there are people that feel they are junk as I do.

I've had every Treo since they came out and have really loved it, But I am thinking about looking at a Blackberry, so I guess I'm not much help

Have A Great Day

When I decided to purchase a pda a few years ago, I sat down with a PDA consultant who did a Q&A with me...based on my needs he recommended I get a Blackberry.  I love it, and have no problem using a separate lockbox key.
