Blackberry's

[Genk]

Thinking of getting a Blackberry. Looking at the Blackberry Bold and the Blackberry 8520 Curve. Opinions? The 8900 is also supposed be good but isn't it a bit old now?

[TopGun]

You can't whack a good old-fashioned grocer's apostrophe :cool:

[saint_stevo]

i have an 8900, very good, does all i need, no 3G but meh for me, Bold is an uglier version of the 8900 but with 3G, got an 8520 coming in next week, looks pretty decent to me

[OldNick]

Ive a Blackberry curve. Its ok, im sure if you are very savvy it can be great.I find the screen is not big enough for the web. So perhaps the iphone would be better for me.

[fish fingers]

In the process of choosing my new mobile, been offered the Blackberry Bold 9000. Look's pretty decent.

"Blackberry's"?

 

To make a plural noun just add the s; there is no apostophe required.

[Manuel]

I once created a Blackberry Curve following a bout of nausea. I'll never gorge on mother's crumble again.

I did it as a 12 year old with sherry at an illicit party -the white carpet wasn't white any more.

Or even name the thread 'Blackberries'?

 

A friend of mine has one and it's not very good for reading / manipulating spreadsheeets apparently.

 

Get an iPhone - brilliant!

[S-Clarke]

Blackberry's are brilliant. I've got the Bold 9000 and i really recommend it.

 

It does pretty much anything you need a phone to do..and then more - and has an v good quality HD screen (ok, it's not a big screen but the quality is still v impressive)

 

the built in GPS is a good bonus, and if you get it with vodafone you get a free 24 month subscription to their satnav application, works just like a tomtom.

 

i've fiddled around with alot of blackberries over the last year, as i support them in my job - best by a long mile is def. the bold IMO - go for it.

[angelman]

wife has a Blackberry but prefer my iPhone. Don't really want push email as I would be on the machine the whole time. Browsing much much much better on the iPhone.

 

Also heard mixed reviews of the Palm Pre.

It's not acutally that simple it it though? Blackberries would have been more apt.

If we were talking about the blackberry fruit, then the plural would indeed be blackberries; but since Blackberry, here, is naming a brand of electronic device, then the plural would simple take an s.

 

 

IMHO

 

 

Here's another example: our local National Hockey League team is the Toronto Maple Leafs, not the Toronto Maple Leaves. Strange but true!

[Golden Balls]

The missus just got an 8900. Looks good, seems to freeze a lot though. Really can't decide between that and the iphone

[Ponty]

Which past was that then, Shane?

[stevegrant]

I currently have the 8320, which does the job quite nicely. Not long until I'm due an upgrade, if I remember rightly

Having one for your personal use is great.

 

But if you work in a large corporation and you are given one then your life ends. They are a disaster. The term Crackberry is very real, you may not be addicted but if you have one and don't reply to your boss's email instantly your career is ruined.

People having to do emails for work at weekends in the theatre. Having dinner - sorry darling must do this.

 

you actually switch off from the outside world. Two guys stayed with me for the Rugby 7's actually missed an England game as they were doing emails, they totally take you away from REAL life with that little blinking light. You find yourself WAITING for it to BLINK FFS!

 

So yes useful for personal use but BOY would I like to meet the A**hole who decided Corporate Managers should be available 24/7.

 

Got rid of mine when I left and would NEVER have another, Horrific nightmare times

[Hatch]

I don't get Blackberrys

Good. Join the cult. Get an iPhone. For every unbeliever we convert, we get a free token in Apple heaven.

[Deanovski]

iphone=rubbish

blackberrys are better but g1's are even better than them

[thesaint sfc]

My nokia N97 is much better

 

 

at least it will be when the new V20 firmware is released

[Son of Bob]

I've got a Curve 8900. It's simply the best phone I've ever had by a long stretch. I'll never have anything other than a Blackberry now. I've not had one single problem with it.

[Deano6]

I have Bold. It's great. No complaints. Get one.

[Julian H. Cope]

 

Got meself one of these . It's da f***ing bomb. Sho' nuff.

[saint_in_munich]

I have a curve 8900 and an iphone and the iphone is much much better than the curve.

[St Landrew]

Here's mine. I can loads of things with it, like contacting people anytime I want. Amazing..! I've still kept my earlier Samsung flip-jobbie as an emergency sailing phone, but it does much the same. What will they think of next..?

Perhaps making the wires longer so you can walk around the house with it?

But.....

 

Keep up nipper ffs....

[Iowsaintsfan]

I have a storm its awsome!

[saint_stevo]

Hated the storm, nasty touch screen button type thing and about an 8hr battery.....unless that has changed?

[OldNick]

the screen has just given up the ghost on mine. Vodafone say i have cracked the screen, but it not so. It is the membrane behind the screen that has gone.All I have now is a white screen with a big black splodge on the top corner.They cant replacer it for a few days, it is murder without it.

[Dr Who?]

😂 

[S-Clarke]

Wow, quite a sad bump. I loved the Blackberry Bold.

Aprox a week after posting this, it was stolen whilst I was on a bus...! Oh well.
