blackberry

[wesley-saxo]

thinking of getting one
worth it or not ?

[Boothy_UK]

Probably.

[Tontsy]

when i got my blackberry i asked the same question, and i got how good they were, amazing...blah blah.

after a year of owning it, i fucking hate it! should have got the iphone.

[haz_pro]

wrong section, and no not worth it.

[VTHall]

depends which one and what deal.

[Ryan]

dont worry ill put it in the right section for you.

I love mine, depends on what you need.

If you want a multimedia device but dont actually need a phone then go Iphone.

If you actually want to make calls/texts/emails the berry works better.

[wesley-saxo]

Probably.

thats made my mind up going go get one now

thats what i want it for just calls and texts
just people said bad things about them and im not sure

[Peter_D]

I think you should get more than one, they are quite small and i doubt one would fill you up, will just leave you craving more

Oh and wrong section, should be in the tasty berries section

try one in shop and see.

Everyone whos an iphone fanboy will tell you to get one no matter what.

When not everyone wants the multimedia functions it does well at

Im on my second berry and going for my 3rd soon, no question when it comes to upgrading for me

My experience of Blackberry was a Curve 8520.

In the 16 months that I had it, it was replaced 3 times, due to consistent software faults trackball problems, crashing, failing to send/recieve sms/emails, dropping calls.

However a couple of friends have had them with no issues.

Actually pissed myself!

but every1 i have spoke to has loved it for the first 6 months and then got bored of it and wished they got something else.
the main reason people get one is because of bbm... but its the same as unlimited texts?

get an android or iphone 4

[Ryan]

trackball. thought the 8520 used the trackpad?

My bad, meant 8900.

Speaking of trackpads, my two best friends have the 8520, both have had the trackpad fail on them.

I bet you loved complaining about it though mate.... ;)

I send alot of emails with my blackberry....have considered the iphone but found it so hard to type etc etc


Blackberry ftw

unusual the 8900 seems to be able to tske a fair bit of stick in my case.

I wouldnt use the 8520/250 myself as they have a few less features on them than the 8900 and above.

Personally i really dont like the trackpad, althout the older berrys did have roller ball issues. My old one got a bit jammed near the end of its life. New one hasnt mind so far after 18-20months of abuse or howlong ive had it.

I know my old berry had huge faults to begin with sending emails etc.. and texts and that was because the silly bint in phones 4u didnt set my account up properly.

[rey]

I've never liked the trackpads, I can't really describe it, but it's just the feel of them if that makes any sense?

The rollerball was the main fault with mine tbh, that would go first, then the other faults would turn up!

Emails etc was all fine until my 3rd one haha!

I replaced that with an iPhone, and yeah it's fun to have the apps for when rediculously bored in lectures, but I'm now on my second 4, due to numerous faults!

ive got alot of apple fanboys for mates, and its scary how many they have had between them, and ive lost count of the amount ive now seen with smashed screens

[rey]

That's one thing that has surprised me so far, mine has been dropped countless times, like down the stairs, or behind the bar at work on to a floor with standing water and the like, and it still hasn't got a scratch on it!

[wesley-saxo]

BlackBerry Curve 8520
thats the one im thinking about getting is it worth getting ??

[Ryan]

personally id go for a better model.

[rey]

If I was to get another BB, I definitely wouldn't get the 8520.

[Ryan]

its the poverty spec berry

[Furio-Gazza]

I have a Blackberry curve 3g 9300, great phone does everything i need it to do but ive only had it 6/7 weeks and its been sent back to be fixed,
comes up saying app error 200 or no software can be found, it decided to delete all of its software it self so im impressed at all but cant wait to get it back or another brand new one if my one cant be fixed :y:

[Liam88]

ive got a bb bold nd its mint never any bother with it but ppl have curves nd other models and have white screen and then the nets not working etc

Most problems involving either Email Not Working or the Internet can generally be fixed by resending the Service Books. The iPhone fanboys don't have it that easy

[Reece1591]

i had iphone and got bored with it so quick so now i have the latest blackberry bold and its so much better never had problem and constantly drop it (accidently) and still works perfectly fine

if you want loads of apps about stupid things then get iphone but if you want a phone then blackberry so much better

[Furio-Gazza]

I have a Curve 9300 3G
900 mins,
unlimited texts,
unlimited internet, inc all bbm emails the lot,
all for £25 a month

& thats with Orange :y:

[Nathan-HxC]

Prefer my iPhone over the Blackberry I used to have, they feel like they've been made cheaply.

[KrisB]

Iphone is an Iphone

Blackberry is a way of life. I've had two over the last few years, neither of them have ever skipped a beat, had a cracked screen or dodgy buttons. Current BB is a Bold 9700, cost me £300 to buy, brand new, got a sim only contract from three, £15 a month and it's never let me down. Maybe the occasional freeze and reboot once in a blue moon but a great phone.

[Littlejen83]

i wasnt sure with the blackberry, my other half has got one and he said try it, so got one and i love it . i got a blackberry torch .
