I am looking for a new phone and I am trying to decide between the blackberry 8703 and the treo 700p. I need to be able to constantly be in contact via email, be able to sync my calender and contacts and it has to have good audio quality. Anyone have experience with either and what would you recommend?
This is with Sprint.

I have the 700P with sprint. Always liked the Treo but I have never tried a blackberry. Audio quality is good but the Treo lacks volume in speaker mode. If the Treo had higher volume I would think its perfect.
I sync via a contact manager and never have any issues with the phone itself or the sync/contact/email features. I can also convert document files and videos/jpgs now with a palm based phone with the 700p. The 650 didnt have that capability.

I had a treo 650 and that thing was durable. I'd hammer it on my steering wheel, skipped it across my cubicle, tossed it over my shoulder behind me in my cube... one damage was a few scratches and I broke off the antenna once, but that was easily replaced.
I have a blackberry pearl now. Better for receiving emails I think, well compared to my treo. You don't even need the google mobile add on for gmail, you can use the blackberry setup to notify you when you get a mail rather than having to check for mail... same with yahoo.
The reason I got this was because of the following:
The treo is tooo bulky
Earpiece sucks
Microphone isn't all that great.
microphone and earpiece started to suck after firmware upgrade.
but that motherfucker was hammerfisted or tossed everyday...
I had a 650 from cingular.

The pearls are nice, but I want a full qwerty keyboard.
