Hmmmmm, Blackberry for biz, Pre because it's pretty ... or????

My trusty Treo 755 is slowly dying. The sound quality just keeps faaaaaading away.

Now, the preference in my office is now a Blackberry Curve because, after all, "business people seem to trust the Blackberry, so it must be the one!"

I'm with Sprint. The plan pricing just makes sense in our household, but their phone choices are a bit limited. This week I've looked at the new Palm Pre, which makes me nervous because

a) it's brand new, and

b) it's a Palm ... and heaven knows my luck with Palm's has been far less than stellar

c) There's no stylus. it's all heat sensitive touch screen. Not even fingernails will work the thing. It feels really awkward to me.

I gotta say, my preference for sheer usability seems to be headed towards the HTC Touch Pro. It's Windows Mobile based ... slide out keyboard, plus touch screen.

That's what's bugging me about the Blackberry Curve so far ... lack of the touch screen. I use my calculator heavily on my Treo. With the stylus.

So ... Here's my question to you Blackberry users -- how DO you use your phone's calculator with all the various functions without a touch screen of some sort. I'd love to be convinced. Truly. I love the idea that business owners can't be all wrong. But that lack of touch screen. I think it's bugging me ...
