The Treo I think would meet your needs now and in the future using
POP/IMAP and Exchange syncing. The BlackBerry relies on a program
running on your desktop to push messages to your device.

just for the record, I think the issue on the 650 is the memory. They
did a very stupid thing in the os and required all data written to the
flash rom to be at least 512 bytes. this ends up wasting a lot of
storage and sometimes data that fit on the 600 won't fit onto the 650

the one thing that is very appealing about the BB is the push
technology. I can't seem to find anyone knowledgeable at spring to
tell me how the technology on the treo compares.

Not sure how the Treo works but with the Blackberry I actually didn't like
the push technology. I felt it used a lot of battery power. I would have to
charge it every night, there was no way I could get a mere two days out of
one charge. My Sanyo RL2000 is 1,000 times better in battery power and
signal strength.

The other day me and a friend went to Home Depot. He has the 7510 also and
he needed to call someone but he didn't have a signal at all. He had to call
his brother about something he needed for the kitchen sink for installing
his new dish washer. We were in the middle of the store and like I said, no
signal so I handed him my phone and said "try mine". He made the call, got
what he needed and we were outta there. His BB was also on Nextel and he got
his signal back as soon as we left the store. Mine didn't drop one bar even
in the store.

though this is a issue, palm is giving awa 128 mb SD card for free to
registered treo 650 users therefore it not a big deal.

There are a couple of push email technologies for the Treo. Checkout
Chatter, it's an email client that pushes to your Treo. Also, you can
checkout the Sprint Business Connection Software.

jljackson,

I am big Treo fan because it meets my needs. I also like the fact that it
seems more expandable with types of apps then the BB. Of course this is a
biased opinion since I love it. Check out the discussion groups at
www.treocentral.com those guys can answer just about any question on the
treo.
