Looking for advice

[dihtn]

I am going to purchase a Smartphone in the next few months. I am with Verizon and am trying to decide between a Blackberry 8703e and a Treo 700w or 700p. Our company uses Lotus Notes so either system will work for that. Here are my questions:

With the 700p/700w, can you listen to streaming radio station audio?

Blackberry does not offer a WiFi card for the 8703e-how well does this card work with the 700w/700p? We have a wireless network at home and I thought it would be an advantage to have a WiFi card to do some surfing while at home at a faster speed than via the wireless data network. Am I correct with that assumption?

I currently use a Palm Tungsten z-how difficult would it be to transfer my contact information over to a 700w?

Does the 700p/700w have voice-activited dialing?

Can you also receive e-mail from accounts such as Yahoo/Comcast/AOL. etc?

Thank you for your help.

Streaming radio station audio - yes. I use Kinoma Player.

The WiFi card works on the 700w, not the 700p. I have a Belkin Wireless PreN and when using the 700w with it versus the network there is a difference but not significant.

Not difficult at all. I did one time and then decided my contact list really needed a massive cleanup - redid it all by hand.

No, but it can be added - test it well because it does not work well under all environments.

Yes. The mail application with 700w is ok and the one with the 700p is for some marginal and others ok. I have licenses for both SnapperEmail and ChatterEmail and use ChatterEmail exclusively. As a note, paid access is required to get your mail from Yahoo via the mail program. Ben
