What do you do with yours?
 

Blackberry that is. I have a shiny red blackberry Curve, and I love it because I can get/send emails, I have maps and GPS, and internet. Apart from that and the brickbreaker game, what else can I do? Can I download books to read??

thanks

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

I don't have one.

I refuse to have a cell phone of any kind.:thumbdown:

Remember from another thread I admitted I'm a dinosaur. :p

Edit: I do like blackberries though, the real fruit variety.;):D

Me neither.

Oh dear, I'm with you, Steve. I need a new cell phone, and am having problems finding one that is JUST a phone so it's easy to use and easy to answer a call! Don't need a camera, games, texting, web, or any of that stuff. Just a phone. My grandson left his fancy phone here, and it rang - I couldn't even figure out which button to press to answer it! :o

This thread is going well! :lol:

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

Nor me. I just use an iPod Touch and borrow wifi, there's usually some available. This site does some free "books" via email in installments, but not a lot.

What do you pay a month for that Batty? Is it unlimited data?

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

I would be ashamed to admit that! You can use a computer so why not a phone?

I have the Blackberry as I am deaf and cant hear to use a phone. Texting on ordinary cellphones isnt reliable in Canada, they sometimes arrive a day late and even 10 minutes is too long, I need to be able to communicate in real time.

I negotiated with Rogers and I dont have a "plan", all their plans included voice, plus I wasnt going to get tied into a 3 year contract. So I have unlimited text and emails, plus 2 Mb data a month( I think) It costs me $47 a month. It could be used for voice in an emergency and it would cost a dollar a minute, but in an emergency you wouldnt care much. I dont use the MP3 part as I cant hear music apart from the bass.

I have this fancy gadget and would like to get the most out of it!:thumbsup:

If you just want a PAYG SevenEleven have some plain and simple Nokia phones, and if you put on $50 credit as soon as you buy it the credit will be valid for a whole year which is great if you don't make many calls. Smaller amounts of credit expire after a shorter time.

My wife has exactly the same unit, but she uses it only for business email. No idea about downloading books, sorry. A popular site for blackberry users is crackberry.com. I'm sure you can find answers over there.

I have a Blackberry thing......use it all the time as I work.......it will be binned along with my mobile phone the day I retire................

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

Nor me.

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

I agree with you 100%. I'm not takin' the piss. FILTHY devices!

Remember the crap we all bought about the safety of Asbestos? DDT? Urea formaldehyde? Leaded gasoline? Bisphenol A plastics? Hey, I read Stephen Kings novel Cell - I'm ready! http://www.virginiahopkinstestkits.c...phoneemfs.html

Thank you Edna. :)

Blackberry pie, heated with vanilla ice-cream is hard to beat:sneaky:

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

Ashamed? Hardly. Been using a 'puter since the days when they took up a whole room, and I bet there's millions like me. Now there might be other things to be ashamed of but it sure ain't anything as trivial as using a cell phone. :rofl:

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

How do you heat a pie with ice cream?:confused:

I thought you needed an oven or some such device. :p:rofl::rofl:

I'll get me coat...again.

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

I've no idea - I get it at our local restaurant:rofl:

A wild guess....they heat the pie first and add the ice-cream after?????????

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

No biggie, there's me thinking from your first post that you wanted something simple as you couldnt work out how to use a phone, .:rofl:oh yes, that is what you said. :rofl:

Wonder what wouldmake you blush?

Re: What do you do with yours?

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

I'll never tell.;)

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

At the risk of derision for bringing the thread back on topic after the first page ;) I found the set of google mobile apps pretty good, just go to mobile.google.com on your BlackBerry and follow the instructions to get a whole set of useful stuff.

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

go on, tell, could be good thread.. things that embarrass.....;)


go on, tell, what sort of useful stuff?? :thumbsup:

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

Do you use the Blackberry messenger? I find that the best part of having a BB. Can chat to my friends back "home" without having to pay for costly international text messages. Fantastic!! :-)

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

Picasa, Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail, Google News, Google Sync, Google Reader, Google Talk and Google Docs are all included in the bundle. There is also an updater which supposedly keeps all the apps up to date, but I haven't noticed anything new since I downloaded about a month ago.

Of these Google Maps is very good as it provides you with GPS as well as route planning. Google Talk is excellent as an IM. Other stuff is very good I'm sure if you bother to store stuff on Google servers, but I don't ;)

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

I use msn nessenger on it. I dont think I know anyone else on google mail to use the messengeer part.

I have GPS on the Blackberry already so dont need that on google. News would be useful to read. I will have a look at the package.

Thanks for replying

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

Is that illegal in Canada? I know it is here and in the US.... Not that you're likely to get done for it unless you take the pee.... like some guy here, parked up in a van outside someones house :rofl: I personally don't think it should be illegal - if you're not prepared to secure your wireless, you should accept the fact that it's fair game for other people to use....

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

I'll nail everything down if you ever come to visit.

Re: What do you do with yours?
 

It's not the people who would use your connection for a bit of surfing you should worry about.... It's those who might use it for something more dubvious - and guess who's IP address they'd have as evidence!
