Scot,

Do you like the voice service with Nextel better than the voice service with
Sprint? Are you planning on keeping both? I use the Blackberry and
absolutly love it. It's great for typing and the instant email is always a
plus since I get about 30 to 40 emails per day it helps me respond to needs
and issues immediately. I find that I use the email service more than the
voice service. I've never tried the Plam Units so I cannot comment on them.

I have been using a Palm T3 as my PDA since they first came out and I
an not ready to give it up yet (1 Handspring and 1 Sony before that.)
However, I just got my Nextel Blackberry 7520 and I'm hooked. We link
with Groupwise using the Enterprise Server and having email on my belt
been a real improvment. I just ordered the larger battery and car
charger so I don't have to go back to the office as often.

J Hook,

Where did you order the larger battery from?

I ordered it from Nextel.com, but I do not see it listed now. It
included the battery and 2 deeper backs (black and blue).
