Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

I absolutely LOVE this phone so far...I can see why BB's are so popular and I can easily see myself never owning any other phone outside of the BB.

The thing that surprised me the most probably was how quick the browser is and how well the internet works on the phone...and that's just on EDGE, haven't tried a WiFi network which I hear works even faster.

I like all the apps. and just the versatility of the phone and what you can do with it...seems almost endless.

Having some trouble with the Qwerty but that's to be expected...not used to it, slowly coming to me though lol.

I literally spent yesterday and last night just going through the phone, getting used to everything, and finding stuff...haven't even started looking for apps.

Bout ready to get on that now.
Wifi is the ****. Internet is faster, sending emails, text, mms, all that is faster over wifi. The best thing is wifi calling that does not use your minutes. I am surprise at how much i'm in hotspots.

And this is why I dislike Verizon for nuking the wifi in their phones....

old



New





I've read the Chrome starts to peel eventually. Love the all black look! Of course this voids your warranty. So do at your own risk. I plan to have this one at least until my next upgrade. It's also unlocked. Screen looks kinda dirty but that was just a bad Invisible Shield application...lol...I've since removed it and replaced with a Clarivue Ultra Clear screen protector.

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

I'm thinking about getting the all black housing for my 8330. The only thing is I'd like for my bottom cover to still have the verizon logo on it and they only offer that in the standard pink (negative) and silver.

Has anyone ever received an SMS msg longer than 160-characters? My girlfriend is out of town with her sister for the birth of her nephew and she sent me 2 msgs today that were CLEARLY longer than 160-characters. She has a Samsung Delve from Alltel if that means anything to anyone.

Any word on whether they will eventually allow this?

I highly doubt it. They've nuked the OS's of their phones for the past two years at least, so why change it now?
