lol sh*tmeant to say everyones sayin bold>>>curve*edits*

bbm is messin up sh*t manpeople dont wanna call or text no more. straight to messenger for important things. ppl messaging me about, im outside, or im leavin now reh reh reh. i dont see it cos my bbm is on silent. then ppl wanna cuss cos i wasnt on time.RING the fone. sh*t man.

[Zachary Foxx]

BBM is convenient and there's no point spending when it's utterly unnecessary.If ur fone's on silent you won't hear it ring either...

[shaian]

also too many ppl takin bbm for msn. changin there name and line underneith it like 50 times a day. getting confused whos who all the time.

[Gordon Gekko]

To be honest, i rated bbm massively at first but now, as shain said, its becoming some msn'y gimmick type thing. Ive had to have a clear up of contacts now and have just the circle and important/neccesary people on it.Also, anyone ever check out the crackberry forum themes? Some sick one's on there, this is definately the best and most handy ive seen about (f0r those on 8900): http://forums.crackberry.com/f129/free-theme-hypaereon-sliq-curve-8900-a-349923/

bold 9700 or storm 9520latestI have the bold 9700... seems ok. internet definately quite faster than the curve 8900 i had...

[Bacardi_Up]

I would say the storm 2.the bold 9700 is good.... depends if you like touch screen phones.I love using my iphone and I am even considering getting the storm 2.

[Zachary Foxx]

Needs more 'Block all broadcast messages' option in the next update

[NiNES.]

what kind of groups do ppl make on up on that bbm?

Did you ever use the storm though? It was fundamentally flawed! It wasn't like other touchscreen phones where you just tap the screen, you had to press it down quite hard! Was ridiculous! Unless they changed that then storm 2 will still be a sh*t phone!Only realised how good the internet is the other day when I tried to use my boy's old curve! sh*t was loading for aaaages! Meanwhile I had time to get my bold out and do what I had to do before a single page loaded on his curve!

i mean wot else is there to do on a blackberry tbh...??? internet/bbmdo u lot even use the apps????

[Michel Kane]

My BBM contact list went from like 100+ to 36...You man are right, comes across too MSN-ish, when it actually can be quite convenient.

BlackBerry tip: Every action on ur bb is logged which in time will slow ur bb down... At least once a week, hold ALT key and press LGLG (the letters) while on your home screen. Then click the Blackberry menu button and select "clear log" this keeps phone moving 100% faster!!!

[Gordon Gekko]

Is that not the same as a hard pull? (not being sarcastic, just wondering) Cause ive been told to do a hard pull once a week aswell.

Easily the best site for anything Blackberry related. Been using it for themes for a couples years, using either the Appleberry Classic or the Android Hero theme.

I'm using a Storm 2 (9520) OS 5.0.402Wanted a change from the trackball BB's I had (8310 + 8900) plus wanted a bigger screen. The Bold 2 is an excellent buy for a first time BB user, but imo it just wasnt Bold enough. To me its basically my 8900 with 3G....which isnt a bad thing, but I felt I'd be buying the same phone again. Honestly they should have kept the dimensions of the 9000, which I hated at first.I also wanted the Storm because a)I like the look of the iPhone and b ) couldnt do without the BB email and BBM capabilities. The (surepress) touchscreen takes a little time to get use to but I when I first used an iPhone I also found that equally challenging...soWhat I dont understand is, people who moan about others taking BBM for MSN... If you add juvenile idiots on your contact list...then you will see juvenile behavior....!Another thing, the blackberry browser is indeed slow and sh*t... but you also have the option to download Bolt or Opera, I prefer the latter. But one things for sure, they are developing a new Webkit browser for Blackberry, which they say will bring it up to par with iPhone levels. Expect that some time next year.Anyway, in the couple years I've owned a BB I've gained a little knowledge, so if you need to know any more holla and I'll try and help.

Is there a way when i go abroad i can go online on my blackberry and not be charged for it?

I guess the only way you could do this was if you found a wifi hot spot.

So basically when i land i should go to Manage Connection > Mobile network OFF?

I'm not 100% sure, but I would assume so. Sounds logical enough to have data services turned off while roaming.

Got a 9700 but it's locked to Vodafone, any easy way to get it unlocked for free?
