I'm with Verizon.

Which is the best choice?

From what I see, there is the Treo 700/650, Samsung SCH-i730, Blackberry 7250, and Blackberry 7130e.

I want the best option, thanks.

anyone?
 
I have a blackberry 7105t, and I use it so much that I can't tell myself when to eat lunch without consulting it. 🙂

But it all depends on what you want to use it for. If you want a little portable media player with pda functionality, then I'd go for the i730 or the treo, but if you're more about productivity and maybe surfing the internet then the BB is what I suggest.

I personally would go with the BB 7250, especially with it's evdo support. I know a few people that have it and I would get it if I still had VZW. Just be weary, IIRC a VZW data plan will cost you an arm and a leg.

i think i posted this before, currently i have the audiovox 6600, the next version of that is the XV6700. that looks pretty sweet from the looks of it.

i've read that the 6600 is better by some, i love my 6600.

go by a verizon store and check out there phones. i'd check out the 6700 and the samsung i730.

Not the treo 700, certainly (screen resolution is crap). Never used the samsung or blackberrys so I can't speak on those. Personally I say wait for a better option at this point.
