i'm sitting here transferring all my info from my old bb to my new one and was curious, how many here on these boards own and use blackberries. what model?
my old: Blacberry Pearl 8100
my new: Blackberry Curve 8900 <---- very schweet fone!
8700g
I have the curve, 8900 I think...
I have the 8830 for Verizon, absolutely love it!
I have a Blackberry Bold for personal use and a Blackberry 8820 for work. Both with AT&T service. I like the Bold a lot better..... Are you manually transferring the data or using the desktop manager? I find the manager to be a great shortcut and is great toback everything up.Quote:

I have an 8800 that my company issued to me, it serves its purpose.
Had the 8700 (1 with T mobile, 2 with Verizon)...now I have the Curve.
Waiting for an 8830 for work, may try to upgrade to the Storm.
8330 on sprint....love it.
Crackberry just got a sneek peek at the new Blackberry 9630 for verizon. Its looking good!

Im waiting to get my 8350I right now lol
Curve on T-Mobile
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.

8830 with Sprint.
3G :borat:
that there is the only thing i don't like about t-mobile... no 3G for blackberries.Quote:

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!Quote:

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.
Cancidas, I need your bb pin again. I got the new Bold 9700.
I believe you need the RIM Desktop Manager installed on the computer. Then there is an option for tethering.Quote:
