Help with choosing phone 4 Verizon

Hey Guys,

I'm looking to replace my e815 that I've had for two years. I am considering the following phones: blackberry 7130e, Moto Q, and the LG Env.

I'm considering the Q because I'm thinking of using Outlook to manage my contacts and calender. I've been reading everyone's post about the Q and comparing what people say about it on www.phonescoop.com. Some people hate it and others love it, so I'm a bit confused.

I know the LG is different from the other two. I just threw in there.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

John

LG=multimedia phone
Q=Windows mobile phone
BB=Highest E-mail functionality (usually)

if you ultimate goal is to have outlook manage everything, the Q is the way to go.

The Q is a horrid phone from all the reviews. If you want a good smartphone, consider the Palm® Treo™ 700w Smartphone. (http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/s...edPhoneId=2180)

Windows Mobile > Blackberry O/S

I ended up getting the Q for 225 with an extended battery and car charger. If I don't like it, I will sell it and get something else.

BlackBerry does not support Outlook / Exchange servers unless the exchange server has the $3000 add on package that supports BlackBerrys and most businesses do not have that. The Q will work already with exchange and outlook.

I have the BlackJack from Cingular now, and love it. Gets my emails pushed from the email server instantly. Calendar, tasks, etc. BlackBerry like I said can't do this without the add-on package.

Actually the Treos are having a ton of problems more than the Q. Even the new 750 is plagued with problems. I had one with Cingular and returned it for the BJ which has been flawless.
