[CampDavid]

Got one, superb device and a great business tool. Wouldn't have one as a personal phone really though, not much point

[Xsi16v_Jk]

I pay £40, 900mins, unlimited texts unlimited net and bb package :)

[Tontsy]

BBPIN is just like blackberry instant messenger, so yeah free messaging with other blackberry users. I think in the latest update they've added this gimmicky barcode thing whereby you take a picture of someones BB barcode and it adds them as a friend, rather than typing in their BB pin. Pointless though imo.

oh... sounds sweeet! just need to find a friend with a BB now lol.
im sure ill be getting bored in work tomorrow, so will be on here with it!

Called crackberrys aren't they, because of the compulsive email/facebook checking that you can do (because its there), if you have one.. I'd love one for those reasons though =D.

[MJ05LLY]

Agreed with J222JRA BB Pin is a very hand tool if you have many friends or work relations with it too.
I am constantly tapping away on mine sending files some work some personal.

I have both an iphone and bb, i like my bb but prefer the iphone for apps. But still wouldnt give up my blackberry for a long time

I get 1400 mins, ulimited texts, free net (bb bundle) for £30 a month. Happy days. Hope you enjoy it pal.

Maybe when enough people have one, someone can create a saxp group on the messenger, with any deals, sneeky finds and general chitter chatter

Was referring to the barcode thingy! Not the messenger, that's good.

sax-p general chat via BB pin...
nice!

this map app thats on it, not too bad! took a few moments to load, but got it spot on to where i was! was impressed!

from the general playing around, i think i will enjoy it!

What contract is that on?

Instant messenger is a cool feature on BB but iPhone also had a free ping facility

What made you choose that over an iPhone?

[J222JRA]

They are an awesome phone buddy and in the last 12 months Blackberrys have become veryyyyyy popular.

Edit...Blackberrys also have the ping facility

[MJ05LLY]

Who you asking that too pal?

[Tontsy]

what is ping?

im on Vodaphoneeee

the iphone, i had a samgsung tocco, and wasnt THAT impressed with the touchscreen tech going on!
but i only wanted the iphone for apps... not for a phone! buy the time i played ith both and got down to treating it like a phone rather than a toy, the BB was much more superior imo!

[J222JRA]

A Ping is simply a tone sent to a persons BB to give them a nudge lol Like on MSN.

You can set how the phone pings......tone, tone + Vibrate or silent.

[MJ05LLY]

One thing that does annoy me about my bb is that when i recieve a call it will vibrate then ring.... why not just have it do this at the same time???
I found an app that does it but still i shouldnt have to spend £5 just for a normal function!
Am i tight or what haha

[MJ05LLY]

I suppose i could splash the cash on payday. May even get that funky app with all the different colour flashing lights. Guess id be too cool then :homme:

[craig180]

Ping is what bb messenger used to be called.

Ihone instant messenger app is called ping

[Evorilium]

I have Blackberry for work; I hate the little bastid! Flashing at me all the time telling me I have more work to do!

Whos that with? as ive been looking around for a while now with this phone

[MJ05LLY]

With Orange pal, but was an upgrade cos ive been with them a few years. Once your contract ends always haggle and say im leaving, they ask what you want, push it and its great stuff they normally give in or comprimise some how! So in the end i ended up getting an extra so many minutes and other little bits and bobs just for pushing it :geek:

[haz_pro]

Had a BB and then got my iphone, prefer this much more!

How ever i agree, Black berrys are getting very popular with the drugdealers and wanna be business men at my uni aha.
