Blackberry

I finally decided to get Curve 8520 in white (and baby blue skin). It's so good to be back!
And the trackpad works just fine, even better than the trackball.B)

I'm just a bit lost, I forget how to enable all these aplications.
Are there any themes you can download? There is only one available...

^Congrats on the new Curve!!

Man im so confused right now, ok here's my dilemma. I currently have a bold 9000 and have had it for about 2 months now. Past phones are Curve 8320(?) Pale gold, Curve 8310, iphone 2g, iphone 3g, and now bold 9000. My contract is up and am now wanting another phone(when will i EVER stop? ). My two choices that i have come up with are the Bold 9700 and iphone 3g.

Bold 9700- Love the look of it, trac PAD, camera, 3g. But hate that it is SMALLER than the 9000
Iphone 3g - LOVE the look of it, the endless app selections, camera, 3g capabilities, gel cases. But the only thing is i may get tired of the all touchscreen.

I just dont know which to choose.

I finally upgraded my Curve to a Bold, the trackpad is so much better than the trackball! I'm hoping it will break less too...

The best advice I can give you (from experience of having both phones at one point due to work related needs) is pick whichever you're comfortable with. Try them both out in the store and see which one fits your needs best. I currently have the iPhone 3gs (which if you're getting an iPhone and you don't want to shell out the cash for the iPhone 4, get the 3gs instead because the 3g, well frankly sucks.)

As for the blackberry, it's still my trusty go to phone incase my iPhone ever breaks. The blackberry holds up a lot longer (as I can tell) and is super nice if you're not completely comfortable with touch screen.

All in all, both are great phones and they are both heaven sent. Just DO NOT get a 3g if you go for iPhone, you won't get the coveted update that just came out (which is fantastic!) and besides, the 3gs is now the same price as the 3g used to be and a much better phone to boot.

I got the white Bold 9700. But quite of fed up to keep it clean. I had the white Bold 9000, and made it dirty like hell. I tried to clean it many way but the dark spot never gone Anyone have advise to keep it white (not using the plastic bumper) or clean it?

There are so many bad reviews of the iPhone4. So many that I just heard on the news that Apple censors some forums....

exactly, also everyone's been saying it has terrible signal. i'd be willing to abandon my bberry for an amazing iphone but i don't think it's quite there yet. and like everything with apple, you should always wait for the second one to come out, the first version of their products always comes with loads of flaws

Are there any fashion-related groups for the bbm? I couldn't find any..

I am finally going to be upgrading from my Blackberry Pearl to a Bold and I can't wait. Although I really like the trackball, I don't mind the touch square but it will take a lot of getting used to. Has anyone had any problems with it?
And there is also a new blackberry out, The Blackberry Torch!

Will anyone be getting it?

i really dont like the blackberry torch, it just feels like they ran out of ideas on what to do with the phone so just made a random sliding one as thats the only thing they havent done. i just dont like the look at all. it looks like an old motorola or samsung..

 

[fashion_boi_01]

I've been using my first ever Blackberry for a few weeks now and I love it (Bold 9700.) Email/WiFi is very easy to use and set up, I like the trackpad, and it's very durable. Oh yeah and I love BBM!

I hate the Facebook app, it makes my entire phone super slow and it's not very user friendly.. I suggest Snaptu. http://snaptu.com/

The only major issue I've had was downloading BlackBerry Desktop Manager - the update crashed my phone!! I got it replaced and haven't tried it again since.

 

[Thefrenchy]

Yeah I really don't like this new one either. I don't know, it's not what I expect from Blackberry...

I don't know if it's the same thing all around the world but I've noticed that here in France, more and more young people get Blackberrys, which is something they understood because I can't count how many ads from Blackberry/BBM aimed at young people, I've seen recently!

 

[lifeistiffanyblu]

^yes especially with the whole bbm angle...i think they just realised if they make a product strictly aimed at professionals they are going to be losing out on one of the other great markets out there...

 

[Thefrenchy]

So mad right now! Did anyone else download the new BBM? THEY ****IN RUINED IT. Like the conversations are so ugly now, you can change people's name and they appear in some sort of "app logo" in the Downloads file. How can I switch back to the old version? I haaaaaaaate this one.

I got my Blackberry Bold 9000 yesterday and I love it. I need a memory card for it so it can hold more but I can't wait to get it all going and set up my BBM

 

[Lanbim Cord]

^ congratulations!

 

[BLUECHIP]

i upgraded to the newest version of bbm and somehow it deleted my entire contact list in the process.

 

[indepwe]

^ That's really annoying! Didn't you back up on Blackberry Desktop Manager? And thanks dsoma, I'm really happy with it and tomorrow I'm sorting out paying £5 a month for BBM and getting a bigger memory card.

 

[BLUECHIP]

i didn't. but it's fine. the important people have added me back and it gave me an excuse to clean up my contacts haha.

 

[mordant]

I actually don't like the desktop manager so much. I never use it. I used Google Sync to back up my contacts.

 

[indepwe]

I have never used Google Sync, is it good? I just prefer to use Desktop Manager because Blackberry + Blackberry tend to work quicker together then Blackberry + another brand.
