Which smart phone?

[Paul R]

You won't get real internet on the iPhone on T-mo. If, by "real," you mean 3G.

I definitely realize there is no 3G yet and I am ok with that... By real I just mean that it isn't like the BB where it is all jumbled up and can't deal with HTML in e-mails etc...

Yep, everything worked (App Store, email, Internet, etc). I don't know what data plan he was using though.

Cool I figured it would but just wanted to make sure as I have heard some people have issues with it.

I'll see if I cant give ya some useless information as well here.

I bought the Pearl when it was first out. I really liked it but went through a few of them due to the little ball not working. At some point I got one that worked and loved it.
I graduated to the Curve about a year ago and I love it as well. The full keyboard is much nicer than the standard keys. The buttons are a bit small but it's not hard to use at all.
The new OS is fast(er) and you can get a SD card up to 16gigs for doc, pics and song storage.
It's not to bad on the Internet but not rocket fast.
I upgraded my original OS with a Beta version that enabled it with video. Later T Mobile came out with a better OS which I have now.

I LOVE the fact that I can plug it into my computer to back it up or to switch from one phone to another or add docs music etc. Drag and drop or use the BB Desk top software. Either way it's nice.
The calender is easy to use and works really good for what I use it for and is capable of syncing with my Outlook calender as well.
I have 4 different e mail accounts on it also.

If I was in the market for a new phone I would be seriously be looking at the Storm. I'm with T Mobile as well so have to wait for the cool phones once in a while.

hope that confuses ya more er I mean helps.

If you need a temp phone for T Mobil I think I could help ya out for cheep.
I have a box of phone from T Mo in the closet.
Better to e mail me though I just don't get to hang here very much.

BTW.

The new BB software is fully HTML E Mail compatible.
Looks like your on your reg computer.

Another edit;

It does Youtube as well with the new OS.

Digging this thread up:


Verizon assistance requested please: Moving from an uber-expensive VerizonBlackberry....that I really like. I just got my first bill and even though I like the phone, I'm not paying that much for phone service. The calendar integration is UBER cool. Unfortunately, my current employer doesn't have a BES server and I'm not sure I want to maintain one (we run Server 2003 SBS--I'm not sure how or if (and don't really want to know) BES works with SBS?).

It all boils down to needing another new phone.

Things I value in a phone:

#1--reliability & battery life
#2--signal strength
#3--size (it can't be built for a 14 year girl with little fingers that texts all day--I don't like to text, it annoys me)
#4--I HATE features I'll never use---I don't really want an MP3 player, crappy camera or anything
#5--I couldn't care less if it has a color screen.

I'm still in my 30 days (until Dec. 16) with Verizon, so I can do almost any provider and phone combination.....


Anyone want a Verizon Blackberry Curve? I bought it in July.

Anyone want a Verizon Blackberry Curve? I bought it in July.

How much?

 

[mbryson]

How much?

Dunno. I paid $200 for it in July. $100 with two brand new holsters (I've already "used" one, but it's available as well if desired), car charger and USB cable?
