Re: [IRCA] Pocket "Blueberry" type of device

Besides the BlackBerries themselves -- many of which now go for as little as $50, under recent promotions -- other good choices include the Palm Treo 650, the UTStarcom PPC-6700 and Samsung i730. I've used all of these, and they have excellent QWERTY keyboards, as well as other good features (e.g., bright, crisp screens). Avoid the UTStarcom XV6600, which has a terrible keyboard.

 

The Treo 600 also is a good choice. It's now discontinued, but you still can find them on the Internet or at carrier stores at a deep discount.

 

Keep in mind that you're not just buying a phone. You're also buying service. So check the data pricing from the carrier that provides the phone. Sprint currently has the cheapest unlimited-use data plans.

Subject: [IRCA] Pocket "Blueberry" type of device

Most of you know by now I got cancer back in California and moved 
back here for treatment. Well, I got treated all right. Chemotherapy was OK. 
Only a period of nausea of an hour or so two days after commencing 
treatment.  Otherwise, walk in/walk out with no effect.

Well, in 
killing my tumor they tried to kill me too. The radiation therapy fried parts of 
my throat. It can be fixed. But got a way to go before I get up funds and 
courage to let the medical folks get at me again.

NOT BEING ABLE TO TALK 
HAS ITS DISADVANTAGES. Most people would suspect that to be true. Without 
writing instrument at hand, I have to communicate by hand language and what 
not.

Here's why I'm going to IRCA.

Regardless the subject, IRCA 
folks know something about everything. Always somewhere can give a direct answer 
or point someone in the right direction.

Here's my question:

There 
is a product on the market similar to the "Blackberry" that is small enough for 
the pocket, has a mini keyboard and an LQD display that can be backlit. Feller 
like me can type in something, e.g. "My pants are on fire and can you call 911 
and have the local volunteer fire company come quick and drown me so I don't 
hurt no more."

What is/are the names of the devices and who manufactures 
them?

Very, very grateful.


Charles
