Who preferrs the Blackberry over the other PDA's

I love blackberry. I use to have a Palm and I had to restart it every day at least once. Once you learn all the tricks and shortcuts you'll love it more

You use the BBM yet?

 

I've used BB for almost ten years now, I would not change, they just work. One of my guys came to me wanting a Treo to replace his BB, that lasted for less than two weeks, the first time he went out of town and it wouldn't connect for him was enough and he came back to the BB. Currently most of are converting to the Curve, it's the best to date. Lot's of neat features, you can now listen to VM left as email attachments on a corporate UM system, before you could only see the attachment and had to call in to listen to the message.

 

i love my bb.
i would not recommend the full keyboard, it is unnecessary.

 

If you are looking for a device mainly for e-mail then BlackBerry by far wins hands down. I have delt with the BB for about 5 years now and there is nothing that beats them in a corp world.
On the other hand the new Windows Mobile 6 does work nice with a fully set up Exchange server and offers some more functionality than a Blackberry as far as editing office documents.

My personal choice for a phone lately has been the HTC Touch. It is as small as a Moto Razor closed.

 

Good point on the two major differences in the BB line of products. BB offers two different ways of typing. The first is the standard QWERTY keyboard and works just as you would expect. Some of the full keyboards have different feels to the keys so test it out first.
The second way of typing is Predictive typing. I was not sure on this one right away but have come to love typing this way over using a full keyboard. Predictive typing condenses the keyboard down to two letters per key and will figure out and learn your words. It takes about 1-2 weeks to fully get used to it but once you do you can fly.

I'm also not a big fan of the new trackball Blackberry has been using I loved the wheel much more.


Have I said enough yet?

 

BB 8703E I think is the one I have...

Absolutely love it, no problems.

Every month I need to send service updates to speed it up, but that's about it.

 

Lets have lunch... I need more upgrades!

Callin in a min, answer the !@#$%^* phone

 

K ...... Cell dead, act accordingly.

 

Speaking of the BlackBerry, there is suppose to be an update for the OS(operating system for the noobs) sometime this week!

It will include video recording capabilities and voice messages via text/MMS.

 

i'm using a nokia e62 right now because it's the only pda my provider carries right now and it's absolutely useless slow peice of junk.

 

This post feels unnecessary now, but add another tick in the blackberry column. I have an 8830 and i refuse to change. I would change phones about every 4 months, but i have had this one for a while now and the only way i would change is if Verizon comes out with a Curve. I have tried the Treo, the Samsung i730, Motorola Q and played with a couple others and i don't like them as much. Sometimes i wish the BB had a camera, but it isn't important enough to make me want to change devices.

I'm also addicted to brick breaker, i had a score of 1.2 million with 247 lives left and the freakin thing just randomly reset on me. Now i can't seem to get past 30k again. It took me about 5-6 weeks to get up to that 1.2 million also.

 

I use a Sprint Mogul. It works very well for me.

BB pearl , i love it . solid too , dropped it so many times .

 

Using the redirector from your desktop should be syncing your Outlook mail client not going to the Exchange server. Only way for the BlackBerries to talk directly to the Exchange server is to have a BlackBerry Enterprise Server running and when that is set up correctly you will get your mail to your BB faster than your Outlook client.
