Genk Posted 12 October, 2009 Share Posted 12 October, 2009 Thinking of getting a Blackberry. Looking at the Blackberry Bold and the Blackberry 8520 Curve. Opinions? The 8900 is also supposed be good but isn't it a bit old now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint_stevo Posted 12 October, 2009 Share Posted 12 October, 2009 i have an 8900, very good, does all i need, no 3G but meh for me, Bold is an uglier version of the 8900 but with 3G, got an 8520 coming in next week, looks pretty decent to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 12 October, 2009 Share Posted 12 October, 2009 Ive a Blackberry curve. Its ok, im sure if you are very savvy it can be great.I find the screen is not big enough for the web. So perhaps the iphone would be better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge too far Posted 12 October, 2009 Share Posted 12 October, 2009 "Blackberry's"? To make a plural noun just add the s; there is no apostophe required. Or even name the thread 'Blackberries'? A friend of mine has one and it's not very good for reading / manipulating spreadsheeets apparently. Get an iPhone - brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 12 October, 2009 Share Posted 12 October, 2009 Blackberry's are brilliant. I've got the Bold 9000 and i really recommend it. It does pretty much anything you need a phone to do..and then more - and has an v good quality HD screen (ok, it's not a big screen but the quality is still v impressive) the built in GPS is a good bonus, and if you get it with vodafone you get a free 24 month subscription to their satnav application, works just like a tomtom. i've fiddled around with alot of blackberries over the last year, as i support them in my job - best by a long mile is def. the bold IMO - go for it.

angelman Posted 12 October, 2009 Share Posted 12 October, 2009 wife has a Blackberry but prefer my iPhone. Don't really want push email as I would be on the machine the whole time. Browsing much much much better on the iPhone. Also heard mixed reviews of the Palm Pre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonjoe Posted 12 October, 2009 Share Posted 12 October, 2009 "Blackberry's"? To make a plural noun just add the s; there is no apostophe required. It's not acutally that simple it it though? Blackberries would have been more apt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Saint Posted 12 October, 2009 Share Posted 12 October, 2009 It's not acutally that simple it it though? Blackberries would have been more apt. If we were talking about the blackberry fruit, then the plural would indeed be blackberries; but since Blackberry, here, is naming a brand of electronic device, then the plural would simple take an s. IMHO Here's another example: our local National Hockey League team is the Toronto Maple Leafs, not the Toronto Maple Leaves. Strange but true!

Golden Balls Posted 13 October, 2009 Share Posted 13 October, 2009 The missus just got an 8900. Looks good, seems to freeze a lot though. Really can't decide between that and the iphone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 13 October, 2009 Share Posted 13 October, 2009 Having one for your personal use is great. But if you work in a large corporation and you are given one then your life ends. They are a disaster. The term Crackberry is very real, you may not be addicted but if you have one and don't reply to your boss's email instantly your career is ruined. People having to do emails for work at weekends in the theatre. Having dinner - sorry darling must do this. you actually switch off from the outside world. Two guys stayed with me for the Rugby 7's actually missed an England game as they were doing emails, they totally take you away from REAL life with that little blinking light. You find yourself WAITING for it to BLINK FFS! So yes useful for personal use but BOY would I like to meet the A**hole who decided Corporate Managers should be available 24/7. Got rid of mine when I left and would NEVER have another, Horrific nightmare times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 26 October, 2009 Share Posted 26 October, 2009 the screen has just given up the ghost on mine. Vodafone say i have cracked the screen, but it not so. It is the membrane behind the screen that has gone.All I have now is a white screen with a big black splodge on the top corner.They cant replacer it for a few days, it is murder without it.
