Blackberry

[perplex]

Shall we make an official thread for Blackberry users? I wonder if there are many in this forum.

I just got my Blackberry 8120 in a purpley bluey colour, I love it!

Blackberry 8800! Best phone I have ever had.

Not a huge fan since I *don't* need to be available to everyone 24/7.

I will say that it has the best email integration I've ever seen bar none. It was so good that we used to not even open outlook unless we got an attachment.

I really liked the breakout game too.

Damn I guess I did like the phone - just not the principle behind it.

Yea I love the phone itself but the problem is now my Dad can bother me 24/7. I guess there is no such thing as a free lunch. And the breakout game is really addicting. I think my top score is something like 9770.

one month into my love affair with my Pearl 8130. the wife is definitely jealous.

the SureType has a few quirks that take getting used to, but ultimately i'm glad i got the Pearl over the 8830.

i only wish i could store 3rd party apps on the media card. oh, and i wish the greedy bastards at Verizon Wireless would unlock the GPS.

favorite app so far: Ascendo DataVault. all my important confidential info in one place... can't believe what a difference it makes!

I've had a variety of bb devices surgically implanted over the years. I currently have the 8703 for Verizon, which is the best bb device I have owned so far. It is a no-brainer for email functionality, which is my primary need. And the keyboard is great. I'm also very happy with the phone. The Curve is nice, but not enough to make me need to switch at this point.

I'm not a fan of being reachable 24/7, but it goes with my job (note: not because I am important, but simply because it's expected). My dad and wife both have bb's and I find that comforting in case of emergencies.

I have an iPhone, which I also love, but for corporate stuff, the bb beats it in almost every way...at least for now.

I love my 8830, every time I send text I love the full qwerty keyboard more and more. I was really thinking of importing an iPhone but I realized that I love the tactile sensation of actually pressing buttons it is really reassuring.

I'm having trouble getting 3rd party applications to work with my 8120 It was working one day then suddenly stopped working, no APN works. However e-mail and the blackberry browser works, but not Opera Mini for example.
