    BlackBerry, iPhone, Treo -- Which do you Prefer?

    At the top of Money for Breakfast this morning, I interviewed three experts (Steve Gelsi from the Wall Street Journal's MarketWatch, Dan Ackerman, senior editor of CNET.com and our own Eric Bolling, a Fox Business contributor), on the competition between Apple's iPhone and RIM's BlackBerry.

    Later today RIM reports earnings. Yesterday, RIM announced a partnership with XM Satellite to add more bells and whistles. Did you know that RIM's stock price is up 156% in one year? In a battle between the iPhone and BlackBerry who will win? Where does the Palm's Treo stand in today's competition? Will yesterday's announcement from Sprint Nextel about their new phone called the Instinct affect competition?

    Watch the video and tell us which device do you prefer? The BlackBerry, iPhone, Treo or none of the above. If you have frustrations, what are they?

I have not used the iPhone yet but as an IT administrator for a global company, blackberry is more user-friendly and stable than Palm Treo.

Good Afternoon Beautiful Alexis, I use both the Blackberry (work related) and Iphone (play) on a daily basis. Also very familar and used the Treo. By far the Blackberry is the most user friend device for folks that need to focus in the essentials of business and email management. The Iphone while a great device for media applications is not user friendly for email. I find the touch screen very tiresome on composing emails. Also, I would have to agree with Jimmy (above comment) regarding the Treo as it can tend to be unstable and freeze/lock-up on occassion. Regards, Your Dave

I have a Moto Q (windows mobile) & I hate it. I have to reset it every day at least once & it has, on more than one occasion, locked up so bad I had to remove the battery to get it to reset. I need an iPhone. BTW, you might want to check your spelling in the article, it's Treo not Trio.
