Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

That's f'n awesome. I tried googling info on it and most of the stuff I found was from 2005 and it had all these wacky workarounds. Glad to hear!

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

Man that's a lot of apps. I'm just disappointed that my Curve doesn't meet system requirements to run AIM. That would have been really helpful.

have you updated to the latest OS for your model?

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

You can seperate your email, and sms
you can have seperate icon's for yahoo, facebook and all of that stuff

yep, i just learned you can do that. There's is an app that you can dl that can take snapshots of your screen. Here's mine currently. "Chloe" is the name of my wifi network @ home

can't stand touchscreen phones. My iPod Touch showed me that I wouldn't like it as far as texting, emailing, etc. I'm addicted to my blackberry.

I have the 8900, not available retail until 2/11. Get the right rep on the phone at T-Mobile and can get it now. It's supposedly only available to Business customers.

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

I think I'm about to head out and get myself a 8330 Curve with Verizon. I get a 20% discount on their plans because I'm a city employee. Nice little perk.

The plan I'm looking at is $100/month so $80/month sounds so much better!

ACTUALLY

I think I'm just going with a Voyager. I don't NEED email capability and that is at a huge premium right now with phones.

That's both a pretty sweet screen and a sweet app SoMiss!

ehh, play around with your settings, email settings and stuff. No need to dol anything for work arounds at all

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

Got the LG Voyager. Didn't have to pay the activation fee and I'm really happy with my decision. I was tired of AT&T anyways...all the people I talk to had Verizon.

The web browser is very average though...but I don't plan on using it all the time. I love the touch screen/keyboard.

BTW I'll get out of this thread...I'm hijacking.

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

Does anyone know why sometimes when using a 'Today' theme it will show a message that you've already read and deleted but won't go away? I made a thread on crackberyy to ask but noone has responded.

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

I have both (Don't ask full retail makes me cry) and honestly it depends on what you're looking for. Blackberries rule for reliability, reception, and call clarity. The screen is simply AMAZING! iPhone has more of a fun, wow factor, and still the best web browser on any phone. I feel as though I can do more with a blackberry but with the app store, the price on apps for the iphone kill the prices on blackberries, windows mobile etc.. I know this doesn't really help but either way you're getting a great device it's just more of what you're looking for. Any more questions feel free to pm me.

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

thanks for the response. im gonna get the iphone. i dont do much with my cells, just text a ton, would surf the net more with iphone obviously. blackberries i like the look, but cant get used to the lil ball scroll. plus, for what i do, i dont need to be that organized. blackberries to me seemed to be geared towards a more organized bus person etc.
