Mobile Phones

[Mary Poppins]

For those of you with a Blackberry, how do you find them? I am looking at changing my phone and couldn't decide between the Iphone or the Samsung Omnia. Just received my lastes trade flier and they are advertising the new Blackberry Storm. I really like the look of that but wondered what you thought of your Blackberry.

I'm changing mine in two weeks and the Storm was the one I saw as well - looks really nice but I am going to go in to a phone store I think and have a play. I don't think I'm going to go for the iPhone (although I may change my mind) as I don't need the musical function as I have an iPod already and I have also been told that there are still some software glitches with it.

Went into Vodaphone store today to see the Storm and had a play around- Have eagerly been waiting for its launch and have to say was disappointed when it froze up trying to send a basic text message. Went back 20 mins later and the shop still hadnt managed to unfreeze it

Will give it one last chance next week for a proper demo then its something else for me

Had an email from vodaphone management asking if I would like 1...maybe we can do a group buy if it turns out to be any good

Pete can you let us know how your next test goes please. I can change mine from about the 6th December I think it is.

I would love to know how you go on too Pete.

I'm due my upgrade tomorrow!!!! :woot:

So I'm off to a local store, to have a play with all things Blackberry (including the Storm, which looks totally brill, but if there are freezing probs, maybe not for me) and then eventual upgrade.

Sad how I'm so excited about a new phone upgrade :cheesy:

Please let us know how you get on.

[Emsickle]

I will - I'm going to be one of those annoying customers that is surrounded by many boxes in order to try out as many as possible prior to upgrade :D

[Mary Poppins]

How did you get on?

Storm and the iphone are reviewed in the Mail's Live supplement today - it's left me feeling even more confused! Pros and cons to both :(

I got the Blackberry Bold in the end. Was able to get it for £50 one off payment and added the £10 per month (inc VAT) Unlimited Internet and Email bolt on to our tariff (Small Business Frequent User).

I love it!!!! I have an iPod Touch and I've been comparing the two and tbh I really love the Blackberry. I have MSN on there, theres Blackberry messaging too (anyone want to swap PIN's?? :D), I've got all of my email forwarded, which I do have on my iPod too, but the keyboard is far nicer as its an actual keyboard, rather than a "virtual" one which I was finding was giving me a little RSI on my fingers.

There are a couple of new Blackberry's coming on the market over the next couple of weeks too - a Javelin and the Curve is getting a new Emerald version, which I'm guessing is going to be green??

I went for the Bold rather than the Curve though, due to the WiFi capabilities which I was told the Curve didn't have.

Don't know if that helps at all.

Ems I got the Bold today and want to pick your brain on a couple of things. Can you let me know when you are on please x
