    Re: Blackberry Owners Unite

    I got the Storm the day it came out. There is a significant learning curve (no pun intended) if you want to use the Storm.
    I am on my second one-the first one had a bad GPS receiver.

    I am now used to the Storm, but I do still prefer the normal non touch keyboard.

    I will have to see what happens when the 9630 comes out.
    It's the fares, stupid

    Since the 8830 is locked down there isn't much I can say Apps wise. Played with a Storm and it felt a little awkward. The click press was annoying.

    Love the IPhone.

    Do you guys use simplify media? I have 60+ GIG of classic rock streaming from my laptop 24/7 and do not keep music on my phone anymore. Since I have 3G I just make a playlist and or just shuffle every rush song ever made. The best part is you can let friends stream your music. My brother loves the Floyd, my wife loves the Joel, and I put Dave Mathews on in case Tommy wants to try it. That reminds me, I only have the best of the Who albums.... Got to get more soon!

    SIMPLIFY MEDIA. And free for the pc or mac... Anyone want to be my friend? Blackberry friendly too! Lovin th iPhone version!

    The press click on the storm is very slow. If inhad to guess, I am about 30 wpm on the iPhone and had it as long as 3 people at work that have the storm. They would not attempt something this long if they did not need to. My phone has almost replaced my pc. I did not want to get up and my pc is 2 feet away and ON! That is how nice the keyboard on my phone is. I hardly use the phone on this thing but I have used 2gig for 1/2 of this billing cycle. Pc is going away. Phone will take over in time. Wireless video out and wireless kby and mouse will probably be around in 5-8 years. Times are changing. I would not believe a phone would take over 50% of my pc usage as it already did.

    (Just ran an iPhone typing test and I am at 32 wpm)

    i use pandora, which is one of the reason i'm looking to switch from T-Mobile. music and internet (flight planning) are too slow. i want 3G!

    Let me just say there's a reason companies choose Blackberry over the iPhone...enough said.

    does anyone know how to tether a blackberry to a computer to use the internet on a computer? i've been trying to find a procedure all morning at work but my internet access is severely restricted here.
