Finding the right cell phone

Posted on Wednesday 17 March 2010

  • as a realtor, i'm looking for that perfect all in one device ie. a telephone that is web enabled that has a palm operating system that has a big enough screen and workable keypad and is not too bulky. Sherry Lane


  • Yes, the treo seems to be the standard in the industry. I am looking at a new product from Kyosara, soon to be released. Also noticed a new Nokia that opens like a little computer. Have to find out when our local carrier is going GMS which these phones require. Thanks. Sherry Lane

  • I did a bit of research on your question, and the best device I found was the Handspring Treo 300. Technically, it meets all of your needs; however, I fear that the keyboard and the screen might not really be satisfactory for you, especially if you want to read the screen in direct sunlight. You might wish to browse the following review: "Handspring Treo 300", by David Carnoy (December 13, 2002) [click on the links at the end of "Review Summary" to see the full review] CNET http://computers.cnet.com/hardware/0-2709830-404-20252976.html?tag=pdtl-list If this device sounds right for you, I'd be happy to post information about it as an answer. However, if it does not, perhaps another Researcher will find an even more suitable product.


  • If you like Blacberry, there is a new unit to use on the 1X network for both data and voice usage. visit the RIM website for more info and service provider in your country... www.rim.com [model is BlackBerry 6750 Wireless Handheld] I would say that Blackberry is more "data" and a mobile would be more "voice" but I don't know your usage/preferences... good luck.


  • What you possibly want is a Tri-Band phone with a clear color screen, the ability to read/write emails, take pictures or video and e-mail them around, manage appointments and be as little bulky as possible. Such a phone is the HTC Canary SmartPhone. It runs Microsoft's SmartPhone operating system which is a bit like Windows but adapted for use on phones. It includes IE, MSN Instant Messenger, the ability to send and receive text and multimedia messages, e-mails with attachments and it plays MP3s and videos through media player. It also supports GPRS data connections for always-on fast internet access. You can record video and sound or take pictures using the camera attachment (comes bundled) and there's an expansion SD card slot for additional memory or external accessories such as fold out keyboards and GPS devices. Have a look at InfoSync's website for more info http://www.infosync.no/news/2002/n/2796.html I have a phone like that myself here in the UK. It's branded by Orange as the SPV (sound, pictures, video) and I've been very happy with it. Have a look at http://www.infosync.no/news/2002/n/2481.html for a detailed review of the product and at http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=ORANGESPV for pricing details. Hope this helps.
