Probably not, but it can help you work smarter, and DEBRA VOLANSKI Cthat's a goal worth pursuing. I recently got the chance to try three of the latest and greatest models: the BlackBerry 8703e, the LG enV VX9900 and the Motorola Q. All three came from Verizon Wireless, though the BlackBerry is also available from Cingular (as the 8700c) and T-Mobile (8700g), and Sprint is expected to offer the Q in the near future. I tend: to.be a harsh critic when it comes to pKones, mostly because I dislike their unintuitive, overcom plicated menu systems. That's why I've always been par tial to Palm's Treo line: the friendly, Tech familiar Palm Operating System Savvy offers tap-and-go simplicity. Not so the BlackBerry, enV and Q., which rely on scroll-wheel or Rick number-pad navigation. Broida Still, despite their somewhat steep learning eurves, these smart- phones pack considerable power. Let's take a look at the pros and cons of each model.

For anyone whose life revolves around their inbox, it's easy to see how the nickname "Crackberry" came to be. The 8703e's thumb keyboard features relatively large, rectangular keys, and though they seemed a BETH SINGER bit cramped, I found I could type quite accurately. Skinner, owner of Margeaux Interiors Inc., painted the ceiling of this foyer two shades darker thart the walls, a current trend in home interiors. I also liked the BlackBerry's bright, colorful screen, fast start-up and reasonably uncluttered interface. Once you learn the intricacies of scroll- wheel/back-button navigation, you should be able to zip along. Unfortunately, the 8703e suffers from a some what weak Web browser (due in j^art to its small Think colors, screen) and, surprisingly, a lack of instant-messag ing software. For a device that so excels at e-mail, you'd think IM would be second nature. ~ LG ENV VX9900 BY STEPHANIE ANGELYN CASOLA At first glam Vfch?"r * 'impressively STAFF WRITER theLGenVloc les rrdenV features a like a tradition two-megapixel t hen it comes to predicting the al candy-bar JT camera and future, local interior designers say phone. i/ comfortable rich warm tones and clean-lined Open it iip,' -7 QWERTY elegance will rule home decor in the new however, arid Keyboard, but it year. you're treated to a doesn't play well Margaret Skinner, owner of roomy screen and with e-mail and !M.
