Cingular PDA/Cell users?
I’m looking for feedback on call quality and or signal strength from some of Cingular’s PDA models (Treo 650, iPaq 6515, Blackberry, etc). I do some traveling and often am not in a suburban area. Since Cingular has started charging extra for CDMA, the GSM may limit my travel some or I may have to move to a different provider (not my 1st choice).
It’s amazing how many reviews don’t include ‘real life’ call quality.
TIA to all who respond.
The IPAQ was discontinued. The Cingular 8125 is pretty good (I use this) as is the Cingular 2125 (smartphone that runs on Windows). Cingular 3125 is good too and new so I have not used it yet. Blackberry 8700 and 7130c are ok but not my first choice (although if your friends have a Blackberry they can use the PIN option to send secure free text messages between the devices.) Nokia E62 is best bet. FANTASTIC reception that all Nokias have, and uses Blackberry feature. Is Symbian OS but if you ever used the Nokia 9300 6682 or 6620 it will be a similar experience, but it looks like a Blackberry 8700, but has better reception, but no camera. Symbian allows multiple applications to run in the background at one time, and you can create your own applications. Windows you have to close down some applications to use the camera and other features (Cingular 8125 2125 and 3125). The Blackberry Pearl will be out soon with a 2MP camera, but it’s too small for my taste, as I need a full keypad to use all the PDA functions. Nokia is best bet hands down for reception.
