Re: Why won't BlackBerry die yet?
An inch think? I think you have it confused with this- »www.bcellphones.com/images/brickphone.jpg
I'm sure the windows smartphones are good products but I guess it depends on who you ask since most of my friends pointed me towards BB over Windows Smart phones. In my case I like the feel of the 8700 over the 7100 style and 7290. 7290 is very wide and hard to crasp unless you have hands like King Kong. The 7100 style is thick and too tall IMO. I guess it depends what you like.
Can't comment on tethering since I've never had to use that feature and it cost a ton thru Cingular.Syncing is relatively quick with pc.
The Blackjack is also very good but when it came out I had already purchased 8700.

It's not widely publicized, but they can't tell weather your using the data on the phone or tethered. The plans also aren't very well publicized, but there's a way to get cheap data. I pay $15/mo for unlimited data plan AND 200 text messages. My monthly bill is under $100.

| I love my Pearl BB. And I sometimes use it tethered (on the advice of a TMobile tech support rep when I was having difficulty with their laptop card). It works great, is speedy, and the size of a regular cell phone. And unlimited data for $20/month whether through the phone or laptop.
I've never had email or content problems on the BB system, which I administer for our firm. Every BB device has worked flawlessly, from the clunky BlueBerries to my new Pearl.
Some will like BB; others will like Windows Mobile. To each their own. |
