TorahMom: Iv’e been using the Palm Treo with Sprint. I like it a lot. I can not get on the Internet. I called Sprint and they put a block on it. The same is true for the Centro (by the way, you can get the Centro from Sprint, with an upgrade and a new 2 year agreement, for only $29.99! [GREEN ONLY]. The Centro is the same as the Treo just a smaller phone, screen and buttons.)
I think that the Pr?, Pixi and Treo Pro are all made for the Web and will not work so good without the internet.
Anyways, to get a BB, Pr?, Pixi or Treo Pro without internet would be stupid. I say you look into the Treo or Centro. There are lots of applications you can put onto them to make them work “smart”. Hatzlacha!!
