Blackberry

[The Slayer]

So, what's the best blackberry u guys recommend? I plan on buying one. Wich one should i get? Tell me everything. from specs to Personnal expieriences with it

Bold 9700.

Curve is too small and OS is slow.

Torch is too bulky and the touch screen is only average-ly useful at best.

Bold is best of both worlds at the moment.

Oh, and there will be inevitable posts after mine that'll say "BB sucks! Buy an iPhone/Galaxy/Andriod!!!1!1oneone!!11!"

Blackberry is catered to a very specific market that's hard to replace with other devices. If you are in that market, BB is the way to go.

i'd never buy touch again. Anything else u can say to me about the bold? I've read some good reviews from it to

Hey, don't be hasty now. Galaxies use Android.

Nearly all my friends use Bolds.

Their only complaint is that internet surfing is a bit slow and tedious to navigate compared to a touchscreen.

But for other purposes, it's very good. Emailing, BBMing, reminders, camera is very decent.

Also - If you're in Canada/US, chances are your product will be built in Waterloo, Canada.

Oh.. hum.. some people have quality issue problems with things made in China, Mexico, etc.

Just wanted to point that out in case it's an issue you consider.

Torch or the new blackberry bold 9780

9700 is outdated now

 

[The Slayer]

what's better about the blackberry 9780 than the 9700?

Faster browsing. I *think* it features the new OS that's on the Torch.

 

[reflex99]

Any particular reason that you need a black berry? The OS is way outdated, they all use slow processors, web browsing sucks.

Having used a blackberry for years, then switching to Android, i can say that android totally stomps blackberry to to curb.

But if your work or something only supports BB, then yea, 9780 is probably your best bet.

If it is for the keyboard, the Droid Pro has a near identical keyboard, but runs android, which doesn't suck like BbOS.

 

[The Slayer]

it's mainly for the keyboard (a). Let me search about this Droid Pro . Also price is important.

 

[The Slayer]

hmm, theres not much difrent in the droid pro as in the blackberry compared to price. I don't know where to buy the Droid pro in belgium tough. And i refuse to buy over the internet (personally reasons). Any ideas?

 

[reflex99]

probably not availible in Belgium since it is a CDMA phone, and like all of Europe is GSM.....

 

[The Slayer]

GSM? We has le smartphones to!

 

[reflex99]

The droid pro uses CDMA, while all Euro Telecoms use GSM.

ergo, the Droid Pro will not work in Europe.

 

[The Slayer]

dang, any other alternatives?

 

[reflex99]

learn to love touchscreens

 

[The Slayer]

i have touch right now, it sucks
