Why would I need to be looking up addresses randomly? I know where the people I know live... if they want to go somewhere I've never been, either they drive or I get directions. OR, I can call them if I get lost.

I'm just giving examples of why people would use the internet on their phone. I'm not trying to sell you a plan where you'd pay more for unlimited data.


I personally can't live without having a decent web connection on my phone since I constantly check sports scores when I'm out on the town

Originally posted by gehzumteufel lol that's why. Power users are the ones that find the BB to be quite shit. Unfortunately, most BB users aren't power users, so don't see the inherent problems until they get more engrossed in the phone. And I personally don't find the iPhone appealing, as it does nothing, with the exception of visual voicemail, that my phone, which mind you is 4yrs old model wise, can't do.

So what features am I going to be missing when I get engrossed in the phone? (serious question, as I havent found any shortcomings yet).

I'm just a hard sell.

you can just send a text to google and usually get an address or phone number that way

That is also true, but I prefer to just go on my crackberry's browser and look it up.

Yeah I would too, but I'm not getting internet on my phone until the carriers stop assraping you $30+ a month for unlimited internet. Might be a different story though if I lived in a city with decent mass transit and I could use it on there.

Yea, I LOVE mine for whenever I have to commute by public trans. Surf the web while listening to music makes that 1 hour bus trip a little more tolerable.

Well to start, wifi for ages (yes I am aware that some have it now), can get a proper browser that formats it just like your desktop, better resolution, touchscreen, user assignable shortcut keys, the ability to do as you wish with the device software wise, no limits on functionality in terms of software, larger developer base in the event that you need an app that isn't pre-loaded on your phone, faster adoption of new technologies, bt2.1+edr and A2DP support, threaded text messaging, built-in camera (I personally don't care about that, but some do use it quite a lot for business purposes), remote desktop if you need to get something done remotely, the veracity of Google Maps integration with the contacts and GPS units built into windows mobile devices, umm....that is all I can think of at the moment, but I am sure there are more.

Sara: I have encountered your whole, "if I get lost I can just call them" thought. The problem with that comes where you are fucking lost, and they have no clue where you are. I had this problem a few years ago when I was trying to tell my best friend where to pick me up. I had no clue where he was, and the street I was on, crossed 1 street twice. I wasn't aware of that. If I had the phone I have now, a PDA phone, and Google maps, I could have looked and told him where to pick me up. Or, you are lost going to a job interview and they don't know the area well. Or your going to a place that no one around you has been. The list goes on.

Oh and T-Mobile internet = $20/month for unlimited here in the USA.

What features do you need/want? Clamshell (aka flip) or Candybar type?

Oh and Google Maps has come in handy in those drug induced "let's go to this afterparty" and you are driving around and NO one knows where the fuck it is, and we are all cracked out or still partially high. lol

Best deal going in my eyes is

�45 Per Month
900 Anytime Anywhere Minutes
Unlimted Texts or Unlimted Landline Minutes ( 500 Texts if the Latter )
Unlimited Internet
Musicstation Acess ( �1.99 Per Week for Unlimited Downloads from a 1.4 Millon song Database )

Black N95e 8GB or N95 Sport FREE!!!
( 12 Months Free Sat Nav Subcription with the Sport )

18 Month Contract with Vodafone Uk

I think thats pretty fucking sweet

You can even use the built-in browser to view a webpage natively. The problem is that most web pages werent meant to be viewed on a small screen. I actually prefer columnar view.

True, but that really isnt RIMs fault, more the community. Plus there ARE several developers making apps.... moreso than for for our cuppertino friends.

Ill give you that because I have never had need for remote desktop, and google maps integration is on googles head... not RIMs.



I'm not saying the BB is the end-all be-all, but I dont think its as bad as you think it is.

With the browser I use, it has a "smart-fit" option that just adds carriage returns for the spacing of the screen. It works very well.

How many times have I mentioned the iPhone that you constantly are stuck on? I will agree that it can be fucking disgusting if you have dirty hands, but the fingerprints don't get in the way, and clean off easily.

I have 6 keys I can change the assignment of.

quote:

Again, I wasn't only referring to the iPhone that you are stuck on. Windows Mobile and the iPhone OS were originally intended to allow developers to add to them.

quote:

Wrong. It costs too much, the SDK is not free, and the API, while Java, doesn't allow access to things. This is something RIM has done, not the development community. Google Maps can't access the GPS units in them. If it was up to them, they WOULD have access to them.

quote:

Not really. Price point has a HUGE effect of feature enhancements. Also, the experience a company has with making mobile phones, cramming in features, etc. can be heavily influenced by the clout a company has in the world market. HTC for example, has the largest presence in the world market for smartphones and pda phones alike. ALL of the branded T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, Alltel, O2, SoftBank, Dopod, and probably another 1000 other companies' PDA and smartphones running windows mobile are made by HTC. I will concede that the iPhone has caused a development storm within the market though.

quote:

All my text messages are in a conversation. They are organized by contact, and you can scroll through all the messages. The immediate view shows a predefined number of messages, but has a link to go back and show the previous of that same predefined. You can continue to click the link to go back even farther.

quote:

Smile... 2 mpixel works fine for me when I dont have my canon.

While you do have that, it is a new improvement. All others have had at least a camera, for years.

quote:

The integration is not able to be done, as I previously mentioned, because of RIM's limited allowance to API calls that it would require, but are blocked.

quote:

I don't personally think any type of phone is, but there are shit, good, and awesome implementations. Just like the Mac when it was a PPC based machine, had LOTS of raw power, but had such a shit implementation, that it ran and acted like shit.

quote:

::: Oh the world dont tuuuuuurrrnnnn, to the beat of just one drum... what might be right for you, may not be right for soooooooome..::

I totally agree with that. I can say the BB is good for one thing. If all you need is text email and it to do just that, then you are fine.

Also, to each their own. If you are happy, then more power to ya. I hate bb's but I won't force you to have my same view. I know I may come off that way, but I really do feel that if you are happy, then fine.
