I use a blackberry but it was supplied for work, previous to June 2008, I was not connected except at my desk.
Which Blackberry and how do you like it?

I use a Treo, but since I’m not on a data plan, I need to be careful how much Internet I run off it. I want an iPhone, but there are serious limitations for me to want to jump to it and get the data plan yet. The Palm Pre has promise, but as a company who knows where it will go. The Treo has not had the best reliability.
Thanks Steve! I appreciate your input. This process is helpful. –jim
It is the old style big blackberry (8703), it is slow but ok, and it is big and annoying to carry on a bike. It doesn’t have the longest lifetime but should last more than a day assuming you aren’t texting/calling all day. So it works for group rides if you can find a good place for it.
Thanks Ducan, I’m still researching and reviewing. I want to take photos, easily upload, and blog to WordPress. Both seem to handle phone call & e-mail adequately. I’m finding blog apps for BB, but now a lot of screen shots. THANKS! Back to reading…

I got a Blackberry ’cause it would give me email, and discovered I could use it as a modem. Soon as I get the dollars I”ll get a real keyboard for it, ’cause I’m not a thumb jockey.
Thanks!
I have “an other” phone (Nokia) that lets me connect. I use it that way only occasionally: I don’t have to be that connected all the time.
I use a Palm Centro, mainly because I could get it cheap from Verizon with a discount from my work. I really wanted to get an iPhone, but the ATT internet access in my area is pathetic. I’ve known people to really get upset with it so I opted not to get one yet until they provide better service in our area.

Thanks Dennis, I desire is no longer immediate since I’m no longer going to Washington this weekend. I’m leaning toward the Blackberry Bold [although there is a newness penalty] because I have the iPOD Touch. I can kind of “have my cake and eat it too.” The review of both are enlightening. I had Nextel coverage problems during my cycling odyssey. It’s a shame the Apple and RIM are not more flexible with the consumer plans that are available. Thanks for your comment. –jim
