sorry if this has been asked a billion times but i couldnt find an answer anywhere i currently have a treo and i want to get the blackberry 8703 from verizon but my only question is on my treo i could make my own ringtones via editing mp3 on my laptop then syncing it to my treo can u do the same for the blackberry?

Hello and welcome.

This has only been asked a million times; not a billion times

Please check in the dedicated Ringtones, Themes and Wallpapers forum on the most popular ways to get ringtones from your desktop to your BB.

Good luck!

ok well while i have ur attention what would be the pros from going from a treo 700w to a blackberry 8703 to be honest im jus tired of the touch screen

Wireless secure e-mail
Rock solid OS
Outstanding keyboard and simple to use

It's not a Treo

well im pretty sure im going to vzw today and gettin it jus as long as i can make my own ringtones and not have to use a website

Seriously - if ringtones are that important, why are you looking at a high-end e-mail centric device????

(Yes, you can make your own ringtones). Create them, then upload them to a website and browse to them from the BlackBerry.

well when i already have a high end device you get a custome to things like home made ringtones, and if i do go with the blackberry i will be take a tech cut with there being no video let alone camera, no touch screen, and mp3 player, but i just want something a little easier to operate, but i hate poly ringtones so mp3s are a must for me

A BlackBerry may be the wrong device for you.

The 8100 does have a camera and an MP3 player. It is much more of a consumer gadget rather than the traditional business based BlackBerry.

sounds like you need to keep what you have now. the BB is as stated by
NJBlackBerry , an email thingy not a camera thingy

i understand that but in thinkin a camera isnt that big to me, im lookin for somethin that is less complicated to use and the ease of BB seams alot better am i mistaken should i jus stick with my treo?

they dont call it a crackberry for nothing

If you need an MP3 player and a camera (I know you said it wasn't important, but you brought it up) then stick with the Treo. If you want a more simple device, and you must get a BlackBerry Data Plan along with it, then consider a BlackBerry. If you feel you will be giving up technology, then do not do it. Stick with the Treo.

If you do you will never become addicted to this web site and will miss all the information and other things to talk about, dump the Treo

well i already have the data plan but that is what im lookin for something simple to use

You already have a BlackBerry Data Plan?

That is a BlackBerry specific plan which supercedes any data plan or anything else.

whats the difference between that and a normal data plan

Without a BlackBerry Data Plan all you have is voice and SMS on a BlackBerry.

A normal data plan does nothing on a BB since it will not allow you to connect to the BlackBerry data network.

Dude, keep in mind you are asking a blackberry forum to see if you should ditch your treo and get a blackberry. i would go on howards forums or even BG's new site. forums.boygeniusreport.com

YMMV but I expect my "high end device" to be rock solid. The whistles and bells don't really matter much to me.

Well, I say that but I do have custom ringtones and custom wallpaper along with the Zen theme on my 8700c... However, if the 8700c wasn't reliable I wouldn't be using it in the first place.

I found a link for free ringtones for the blackberry 8703! Check out world wide web...tuneusin dot com. )I cant post a URL.)
