Free to Good Home (or not) - My Treo

By
Real Estate Agent with M Realty

I've vented about my Treo troubles here and I'm on to a solution.  I wanted the new iPhone - badly - but I had a year and a 1/2 in my contract with Verizon.  Given my history of calling with technical troubles, they did offer me a free 8330 Blackberry curve.  Free is not a bad price so I'm giving it a go.

Any tips or tools for the Blackberry?  I'd love to hear them.  And in the meantime, I have a 5 month old Treo 755p that is up for grabs - if you dare!

Great admirer of iphones...but Blackberry was the best of the best for a long time running. Try finding information on the Internet on how to use it properly. Good luck.

Linsey,   I'm currently in love with my Samsung Instinct so I will pass on the free Treo, although just the word free starts my juices flowing! Good luck with the Blackberry, everybody who has one seems to love theirs.

Providing the integrity and service you deserve.

I love my Treo. Have not had any problems with it at all. Maybe it's not your Treo but Verizon. My service is will Alltel. Been with them for ever. Highly recommend them.

Hi Sam,

After my last post regarding my Treo, I know I'm not alone.  The problems haven't been due to the connection strength, etc.  The phone has chronically (daily) locked up and I 've been through several hard resets.  You are lucky.  I think it's a great phone - when it works.

Sorry you couldnt get the iphone it's the best. I waited in line on June 29, 2007 for 9 hours and it was all worth it. I will upgrade here soon as they can keep them in stock. I will sell you my old one unlocked that you can use on Verizon if you want it.

If you have a Facebook page, you can link your Blackberry to it using a Blackberry application you can find on Facebook.  It will advise you of any updates...there may be an application similar for LinkedIn.
