the best Cell phone from review

Depends on you.

Are you a Mac head...A PC user... or Linux? Do you need advanced e-mail or web browsing?

The 3 types of phones you mention...while all "smart phones"...all appeal to different types of customers.

Lets start with the Blackberry:

Are you a corporate user? Is E-mail your priority? Then Blackberry may be for you. You get your own Blackberry e-mail and you can push corporate e-mail as well.

Web is available...but advanced page rendering is out. There are plenty of 3rd party apps for the platform and it is addictive (thus the term "CrackBerry") The deal killer for most is that the Blackberry has no touch screen. All button clicks for navigation.

Next... The Treo:

This is my phone (700p). After 2 other Microsoft Windows phones I decided to ditch Windows and go with palm. The Palm OS is currently based on very old code...but that also means you have thousands of freeware programs for use on the platform. Sync works well with both Mac and PC...but beware of some Windows Vista glitches (fixable by 3rd party apps). The Treo comes with VersaMail...a full featured e-mail client that is both POP and IMAP compliant. You can hook up to several e-mail accounts on this phone. I like the Treo because it is a full featured PDA and the phone does not suffer because of it. The Palm also excels at one handed use. If youhave a Slingbox, you can also stream TV from your house. On Sprint...the Treo is great because you can use it as a modem for your laptop (using a 3rd party app).

Treo deal breakers:

Reset loops on some models (backup often)

No Wi-Fi

Finally the IPhone:

Very cool phone...but I don't think it is worth it yet.

This is first and foremost...a phone. The IPOD interface is beautiful and the web page rendering is about the best I have ever seen on a phone. The visual voicemail is also a treat. Email is compliant with both POP and IMAP. YAY... whe have WIFI!!!!! Thin, sharp, and sexy. If the newest gadget is your thing...then the IPhone may be for you.

The Treo can do more than an I phone...just not as smoothly or as pretty.

Google maps is integrated on the IPhone...but also on newer Treos and is an add on for older Treos.

The Deal Breakers:

Only on AT&T :-( You have to use this baby on AT&T so if you have a contract with anothe carrier...you are out of luck.

Slow internet speeds. The AT&T network that IPhone uses pales in speed compared to Sprint and Verizon.

Very pricey...OUCH!

Battery is built in. If it goes bad...you are out of a phone for a little bit while yours goes back to the factory. (The may give you a loaner phone...check with AT&T)

Not much extra software....YET.

No hard keyboard. I have friends that just can't get used to typing on this thing.

You have to activate and sync through I-Tunes. This will prob. be solved in the future.

Another question you may ask is "what phone company is right for me?"

Do you stay in the same area... or are you a world traveller? Are the areas you go better served by CDMA, or GSM?

I hope some of this helps...and remember...there are plenty of users happy with ALL of the phones above. It all comes down to personal taste and finances.
