darin3 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 before this the most powerful fone ive had is a razr. You can imagine what i think of this thing. Blackberrys are trick, especially if you use more than one email address regularly. I do, and it handles them - and texts - like a charm.... all going to one central inbox. That is invaluable to me. Web browsing is decent; at least far better than my previous Blackberry. My only complaints, so far, are that when dialing a number, sometimes it will insert the letter on the key instead of the number. Also, it doesn't allow you to hang up a call and quickly make another call. You have to give a little pause, or it will say "call failed".

darin3 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 not impressed so far, it a definite charge every day item Not mine. I mean, in the beginning it wasn't. It might be becoming so now as the battery performance dwindles slightly. But uh, use the auto on/off and/or plug it in at night and you're golden.

bpwallace49 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 IMO the pearl is a POS . . . I constantly have issues with jolting that causes it to shut down and some of the features are not very user friendly . . polka do you sync your blackberry to outlook mail/calendar and charge it through your USB port too?

The pearl is definitely crap. The curve is pretty weak too. The world edition is fairly solid, except no camera phone. The Bold looks pretty solid. We can't get them yet through Verizon(In Pittsburgh). Bold My biggest complaint is the actual phone quality. As a PDA it can't be beat, as a phone...not good.

bpwallace49 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Through my provider that I have been with for 10 years, I can get the curve or the pearl. Boy does that suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefjay Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) Have the curve also. Buttons are a bit small for my fingers so I do fat finger a lot of things. Darin, how do you get multiple email address? I tried a few months ago with no success, thought maybe it was becasue I'm on my corporate network but I could just be messing it up. It's hard to send texts to multiple people though which I hate. OH and battery power fine, probably every 3 days but then again I don't use it for phone very much, mainly email and some text.

Agree with battery power, mine seems fine.. blows the Q out of the water. I only have to charge daily if I have given it heavy use. As for texts, if you have a regular group you are sending to, you can creat groups in the address book, otherwise, yes, it is a bit time consuming but I don't know that I've really seen any phone that is much better in that regard.

If you can't figure out how to set up another email on a Blackberry, uh.... I think you just go to "E-mail Setup" and select "new email" or something. It is painfully easy. Whether or not you have a corporate email on the phone should not matter. I have a Gmail account as well as a corporate email. All to one inbox, with texts, etc. I don't think it's that hard to send texts to multiple people. Select first recipient, hit the BB button, hit "Add Recipient", select who you want, repeat. Battery was awesome the first few months, getting a little less effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try again at some point. Just be nice to just click all the people you want to text instead of adding a recipient for each person over and over.

CaP'N GRuNGe Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) I've got an HTC Mogul Pocket PC. Thought it was toast as it stopped working a few days ago but took it in and they reset the op system. Was kind of looking forward to a new phone after just about 2 years, but truth is this does pretty much everything and anything I could want.

myhousekey Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 On my old pda if i was sending a text that was too long it would automatically just put the message into 2 texts. I can't seem to figure out how to do that on the blackberry. Just seems to stop me at the last character and I have to start a new text if i want to continue. Anyone have any luck with that?

Clubfoothead Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Mine's cool except I only get about 1 of every 5 emails for some reason. It's handled a charge well so far. I ass dialed Perch all weekend last week for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A) was it on vibrate, 'cause that could explain alot is that what you guys are calling it these days, and what does that have to do with a blackberry C) was this a "planned" thing between the two of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
