Well... I have a RAZR... gave it up for the BB. I can't imagine that it would be a better phone that the 8700c. I love being able to look at the thing when it rings and answer it with one button press. I never could get the hang of flipping the RAZR open with one hand.

Put me in the "only carries one phone" category.

It was an art that needed to be mastered. Just kidding. No the Razr was my weekend phone and to be away from the BB and work. But with the Pearl now I use that instead and all I do is just turn off the data coverage and I am good.

Default Fifth

I have Three phones but mostly carry the BlackBerry. Motorola V710, Nokia 2865i and My BlackBerry 8703e.

When very you find someone with four cell phones, you'll always find a fifth.

I'm updating my post after buying another phone, this is very addicting. Because most the new phones are so small & light, it's easy to carry more than one.

Because I enjoy choices, on the weekends I usually carry a backpack with my 7130c, a RAZR & Moto L2.

However if I was going to carry just one, it would be the 7130c hands down, no hesitation. The finest phone I own.

I carried a phone and a Blackberry for the longest time. Now I only carry my BB. I don't regret the decision one bit. I use mine for work and personal, so I always have it with me. I don't see any reason for me personally to carry too. It just got to be too cumbersome to me.

Pros & cons?

Thanks!

Darn ..I was hoping you would day seventh!

That way I would not feel so addicted, as I'm up to six

Cheers!

Default 2 devices

8700C for Email and Cingular SYNC for Voice. The phone is better at being a phone and the blackberry is better for email, so I have both.

I bring the blackberry along when I want to be bothered with work, but the cell phone stays with me at all times. I really don't like "wearing" the phone or blackberry and I hate constantly checking to see if my keys are locked when a non-flip is in my pocket.

Though I would be tempted to combine into one device if BB released a Pearl in a clamshell / flip formfactor. I'm not sold on the suretype keypad but could compromise with the convenience of having both devices consolidated into a small clamshell.

I now use the 8703e for everything...except it's just a backup as a phone.
I use the Sirocco Nokia 8800 as my primary phone.

I use my Pearl for everything, and I'm looking in to a GPS BT receiver for my truck....this thing is great...much better than my Moto Razor.

I forward my cell number to the BB. If I just want to carry my simple motorola v325 tri-mode. I simple stop forwarding the cell number and I am in business.

Best of both worlds...oh yeah work pays for the BB or I would just carry one.

Unfortunately, I have to carry two devices, my work cell phone and my BB 8703e, only because my employer doesn't reimburse me for my personal cell phone.

Default 4 devices

I carry 3 devices. 1 BB for email. chat and Data Connect. 1 Phone (because you can't talk on BB while in Data connect). And 1 Dell Axim because BB just can't do the calendar thing well enough yet. OK then four devices if you count my laptop because sometimes you just need more screen.
