Blackberry phones

[the slow norris]

I've got a blackberry storm, 1st ever b'berry. While it took a while to get used to the touchscreen, and the battery is 2-3 days use at best, I actually really like it now. Get through the tough times of using it and it works very well. Camera good, phone good, internet good, e-mail superb. No complaints here now, but it did take time to get used to. Also, re the e-mail, it uses push technology (whatever that is), meaning the e-mails get sent to your phone without having to connect to the internet. The Iphone doesn't meaning you have to connect up to the internet. This isnt a prob in the uk as the tariffs will probably include unlimited internet connection in the iphone's price plan, however when you go abroad you'll be pinged every time you connect to the internet.

You kinda explain what it is in the 2nd part of the sentence!

good point well made, I will add 'knowledge of push technology' to my CV

...is ridiculously shit from judging from what my missus has experienced, unless she's just been very unlucky. Keeps crashing, rubbish reception, keeps hanging up on her, predictive text is pants, nothing but trouble. But she does love the whole finger-touch thing to expand pics or internet. That is nice.

.

I would say she HAS been very unlucky, as I have had one for about 5 months and have experienced NONE of the above.
The only thing that lets it down is the camera being a bit shithouse, there is a new update out shortly that is going to fix a few other things such as MMS and text forwarding.
I LOVE my Iphone !

Well I DID. And I'm happy with mine, as for the ringtones, even though I'm 22 I have the plain ring ring one, and that suits me down to the ground instead of the incessant shite I hear other people have...

The blackberry app world is out on Wednesday, which should hopefully rival the IPhone app store, I'm waiting with baited breath as that is the only thing I am annoyed with Blackberry about is the lack of applications to download.

The Storm only has a 3.2 megapixel camera, which I thought would be ok but not great but I take pictures on it for my work (estate agent) and then send them across via e-mail. So much easier than on wires and stuff. It is a bit big as a phone, but then you easily get used to it.

Plus e-mail on the go is like taking a ghost poo. Until you've had one, you didn't know how good it actually is. And then you revel in it.

Enjoy !!!

I did too! And i like it!
I also have the docking charger so it turns into an alarm clock at night and chargers at the same time! What will they think of next.
I would reccomend the phone.
If you want a proper phone, but with a business edge then this is it!
