Treo or Q

I already searched, but I didn't find my answers. Now that my wife has a blackberry from work, I'm feeling a little inadequate in the tech area.

I have Sprint, so I was looking at the Treo 755 or Q, but do any of these types have full web capabilities? I mean, can you go to any web site, or is it just portals?

Oh Satori, Satori Satori. So many offerings come to mind but none that are UA safe.

Debi - yep.

D-Rod, I've looked at the Palm site, but they don't explicitly say that you can go to any site you want. All of their screen shots are of portals. So you're typing this on your Treo. Can you go to any website with full content?

you can even stream video from the internet on the q, since it had windows media mobile. I use my q for everything, email, text, internet, navigation.

Everything that Reeferman said I can pretty much do also.
Go check one out and play with it, most cell companys will let you.

Another question - In this class of phones, which ones are Wi-Fi capable? I know iPhone isn't the only one, but I can't remember which ones are.

This Q uses his mobile phone to make phone calls. I know it's a novel approach, but it works for me

If you arent set on Sprint, check out the 8525 from Cingular/AT&T. I love mine and it uses the 3G wireless technology and is almost as fast as my DSL.

Thanks for the replies. Are either of yours Wi-Fi capable? By that, I mean can you use your home 802.11x wireless network instead of the cellular network. I've been to all of the sites, but they don't seem to mention that specifically.

Ah, thanks. I didn't look at that model before. I'm a little hesitant about AT&T though. The coverage map looks kind of spotty in my area.
