I got a Pre a few months ago and have never looked back.

I kept my Treo and manually update it every morning with a quick hotsync to open keyboxes.

Its a little hassle to carry around both but what I can do with the Pre boggles peoples minds. My broker is incredibly jealous.

Benn!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I was at a seminar last week and someone pulled out a “flip style” cell phone … whoa! I had to give the guy the money to upgrade.

You said it best here, “You as a real estate professional have bent over backwards to adopt new technology, become more mobile, taken on social media to merge with the communication age- but your phone hasn’t come with you- why?”

Elaine, as a PDA, BB serves well, however, the only real reason to move to a touchscreen phone would be your online life, how you use it to utilize the web- speed is everything, and the applications don’t hurt.

I’ll tell you though, I don’t miss the bulk of my treo when I’m working and traveling.

I’m not a cell expert, what I am an expert in is coverage of these services specifically in my local market (SXSW proved yet again that At&T fails in Austin), and I also know Apple, but blackberry- it’s really not my bag, sorry!

I just got a BB Curve along with the eKey fob. My goal was to eliminate my home land line which I was keeping ONLY for the key pad updates. I also wanted to stay with Verizon. I had had a Voyager with the touch screen and didn’t care for how it “went places” on its own. So the BB seemed to be the answer and I love it … like having a handheld laptop.

I’d be interested in reading how people compare the Pre to the BB.

Ours is black and about 1/2 that size, and it stays in the glove box, why would you carry that around?

It’s just illogical to give up powerful technology for one simple task/function especially when IR is done, gone, over (might as well help it along)- bluetooth is next, and all of these phones have bluetooth.

Keep on keepin on Barry!

Bottom line? How many capabilities are you giving up in order to continue to use your phone to open a door when ekey offers a tool to do it seperately?!

Barry, seriously, set your phone free. There is alternative to using your phone for ekey, just do it, MLSs won’t upgrade until there is demand- do us all a favor and cut the cord.

Aargghh- I want on but our Board uses GE SUPRA boxes that require an IR port.
Until they work out the software to link to a bluetooth key fob I’m stuck with my Centro.
I like it but I really want the PRE.

When we got our iPhones a few months ago, my life literally changed. News, Email, Facebook and most of all Twitter are a whole different universe on a well equipped touchscreen with a sexy interface. I don’t own a Pre and I haven’t gotten to play with one, but from what I understand it’s iPhone-ish. An upgrade is definitely in order. It will change your life
