BlackBerry

[Frutos]

Does anyone either have one or have experience of using one?

I'm looking at possibly getting one, and would like some advice on any particular models that people have either found good or not so good to help me make my choice.

Cheers in advance.

You don't seem to be the extravagant type. Do you want one or need one?

Do not get the Storm (touchscreen) whatever you do, it is shithouse. The Curve seems to be the Blackberry of choice.

Had a Vodafone Blackberry for about 2 and a half years now. If you are out and about with work (I have to travel abroad quite a bit) they are fantastic. You can tun up to 5 different email addresses through it and receive anywhere anytime. You can keep on both Blackberry, delete from both or delete and keep on desktop. Saves coming back to shit loads of emails after being away for a while.
Downside is they become addictive (always checking when you first get!!).
I'm still using original handset. Upgraded to a Blackberry Storm about 6 months ago but so bloody complicated and sensitive to touch it was going to be sent from the top floor of my offices! Now back in the box.
Definitely recommend though

iv got the old blackberry pearl as i broke the screen on my nokia, does the job, once your used to it, its easy to use, but it will take you a week to learn how to text on it. other than that its great.

I don't NEED one in any particular sense, but they perform a lot of functions I would find useful if I had one and so I'm looking into the possibilities.

on another thread someone said they were free if you picked them yourself

Cheers for the advice guys.

Cheers for the advice guys.

Getting one for the wife next weekend, and because my son and his G/F have them and we have used them, we are going to go for the Blackberry curve, they seem easy to use, Happy hunting mate

Blackberry Curve 8900 is defo the way forward. Bold 9000 has 3G functionality but is bigger and a bit more cumbersome. You can only get the Storm on Vodaphone.

I'm after one and after quite a bit of research i'm going to go for the 8900 curve. The only downside is lack of 3G, but thats not the reason I need one so its no great loss.

Everything I've read and heard from people seems to agree with this, so that looks like the option I'm going for.

My wife has a curve 8900 and although it is a good phone, my iPhone is SO much better !

I have a Blackberry (curve 8900 of course) and bloody love it , it does EVERYTHING I want it too and messing around with tests against Horsham Gulls Iphone on Saturday is just as effective , if not slightly quicker and less fiddly

Dont bother, get an iPhone.

On what grounds?

My dad's got one, and LOVES it, not met a person who doesn't love it.
