Cell phone! Which one?

[sparkie]

I know we have some phone geeks on this forum, and I need your help.
Next week my contract is up and the sweet little wife and I are looking for a cell phone with a few things in mine. The dog has eating my antenna off. So I can’t wait for a new one.
Here is what I want.
1- Internet on the phone.
2- Able to hook internet up to my lap top from the phone.
3- Must be verizon.
4- Camera built in.

What is the difference PDA & Smartphone and Blackberry?

Since it has to be Verizon I would recommend the Motorola Q or a Treo. Don't get the XV6700. I have that phone in the Sprint version and I'm not very happy with it.

Well I worked for Alletl for 2 yrs recently so I might be able to help. A PDA is like a palm pilot and a phone together. Smartphone has like wi-fi capabilities... and blackberry is just a name of a company. I hate blackberry. they're like pda's. As far as being to hook up your phone to your laptop for ISP, that's just a matter of a cable and the right software to give you that capability. Motorola is best at that feature.

I have alltel, and have the moto q and like it, also when I worked for alltel I had a treo and liked it too. the 700wx is the first palm to be windows based so it's cool. Heck if you switch to alltel i'll sell ya my extra Q!!! j/k hope that helps out.

Thanks Dust, the wife is looking right now on the link Reddwarf posted. She was asking about wireless from the phone to the Lap top with out a cable. Is this possible?

Have a Cingular 8525 that is badass, built in wifi, viewing pdf files on the go easily which I need for my biz etc. Can tether it to the laptop. Don't think there's a model for Verizon, the parent phone is the HTNY whatever thingamajiger lol.

I just got a HTC s710 phone and it got "all" you wanted (dono verizon?) e-mail, mms, sms, 2 mp cam, ext micro SD card, internett, works, exel.....so on you can even use it as a phone...smart....he he

HTC

The "keyboard" is kinda small, so its no point writing a book on this one, but great sending short e-mails and surfing AGol...

Camera takes good pics

Screen is pretty good in the sun too

And as it has micro SD card slot, you never run out of memory..

Sparkie I just got the Moto Q last week and love it. Loads of features and I'm still learning everything it will do. It will let me view AGonline, I do know that .
