...attitude towards smart phones, or mobile PDAs, began to change when I met RIM's BlackBerry Pearl this summer. I could suddenly see a long-term commitment to this device: it was slim and phone-shaped, easy to use but smart enough to bear the BlackBerry name. (With a T-Mobile monthly plan of around $60, it was also surprisingly low maintenance.) Since then, I've been on the prowl for other mobile PDAs that appeal to people who don't need mobile e-mail, but would go for it provided it wasn't an inconvenience. Nokia...

...instant-messaging program from the developers' site (mentioned above) also had some quirks. While I liked the interface more than that of many PDAs and most phones-that is, I could easily jump between conversations and other windows; however, I had to peck in every letter like a chicken. It might not be as labor intensive as texting using a thumbpad, but unlike texting, it doesn't get much easier with practice. If you want to use a 770 for instant messaging, you may want to spring the $100 to $150 for a Bluetooth keyboard to go with...
