I subscribe to both Sprint PCS and Nextel.  I am looking at getting a new
PDA device (e-mail, schedule, notes, data storage & recall for work, etc...)
Currently use primarially a i530 / Sanyo 4920 and a Handspring Visor Pro,
I'm not tied to a palm unit.
 
I see that Nextel has a new Blackberry out and also the Treo series that
Sprint PCS offers.
 
Can you guys that have experience with either give me advice and pros and
cons.  The major pro I see with the Blackberry is the keypad, I hate Grafiti
and cannot type as fast on the onscreen keyboard of my Visor.
 
Thanks
 
Scot

Go to the sprint store and try out the Treo 650. I have been very happy  
with mine for the past 3 months.

Nextel offers the Treo? That's news to me.  PalmOne has not made an  
iDEN-capable Treo.

Uhm, have you even SEEN the Treo?

The Treo line hasn't used Graffiti since the ill-fated 180, a few years  
back.  All of them use a blackberry-style keyboard now.
