I just got a new Blackberry! Ask me anything!

[Seeking Serenity]

Woot woot!

[NewJeffCT]

1. are you addicted yet?

just curious

[Seeking Serenity]

3. Pert'near

So much better and funner that that old dumb phone.

[taterguy]

2. Did you go to one of those farms that let you pick your own berries?

Those places are so cool

Why did you only get one? I would have gotten a whole basket full if I had to all the way out to the country.

[Seeking Serenity]

4. I reckon 'cause I only needed one.

A basket full of them would be, to my way of thinking, a tad wasteful.

[AirmensMom]

5. Have you tried the games?

:bounce:

Harleydad got one a few weeks ago. He has nicknamed it his ball and chain. :rofl: I played with the games while we were traveling. :bounce:

[Seeking Serenity]

7. Not yet. I can't seem to stop doing the e-mail and FB thingies.

I can't wait to try the GPS application.

[AirmensMom]

10. Oh, that is cool!

Well, we don't have the fancy one. Just the one that draws a map. But it still beats not knowing where you are. And it can find restaurants, hotels, etc. :bounce:

[LuckyTheDog]

6. I just got a different kind of smart phone

But I already have Blackberry envy.

[Seeking Serenity]

8. I had wanted an iPhone, but

Apple has that exclusive deal with Southwestern Bell, what, AT&T now, and I hate them.

Several girlfriends told me to get the Curve and to stay away from the Storm or whatever they call their touchscreen. Still too many bugs in the touchscreen version, so I've been told.

[LuckyTheDog]

9. I got a free "certified used" Motorola Q from Verizon

It seemed like a pain-free way to try out the smart phone thing,

[Symarip]

11. I have a Curve and I love it more than most people in my family

Screw all that tap and pray horseshit going on with touch screens. The Curve has it all. The Iphone is a piece of trendy shit. You can't even replace the battery if it goes bad. And don't even get me started on AT&T's 'service'.

Welcome to the family.

[TZ]

13. I however will never get damage to my finger ligaments

from "tap and pray". Crackberry thumb IS a real condition. Those little buttons are not good for the hand if you type alot.

[Symarip]

20. Next time you see someone having a hard time typing on their Curve

You should record a video of it with your Iphone to show everyone.

Oh wait. You can't. Because the Iphone is a piece of shit.

[TZ]

22. I can however take a very nice picture

Of someone rubbing the cramps out of their hands...
C'mon I've never heard of another type of phone have A REAL MEDICAL condition named after it...:rofl:

[Symarip]

23. You do that

Have fun with your fart noise application, too. That's what the world really needs to get shit done: tap and pray touchscreens and fart noises. I'm sold.

[Seeking Serenity]

15. Thanks.

:hi:

[Bunny]

18. Yeah, I have the Storm and I am not real happy with it.

This is the one I want now, but apparently it does not come with a camera, which is weird isn't it?

[Seeking Serenity]

19. That's the World version.

I looked at it, but you're right, no camera. And I never travel abroad anymore, so I had no need for that feature.

[Symarip]

25. One of the reasons some BB's don't have camera's

Is because the BB is the choice for high level working professionals. The problem is, alot of companies and high security area's in the government won't allow you to have phones with camera's installed due to confidentiality constraints.

[Bunny]

28. Why, I never thought of that. It makes perfect sense.

Thanks!

[Symarip]

29. I have to ditch my phone every time I go in our Secret lab

Sometimes, I actually wish I had the BB with no camera.

[Seeking Serenity]

30. That does make sense.

Boy, I sure like smart people.

[Lucian]

34. You should've waited until the Niagra came out in May or June.

Oh well. The Curve is awesome. Enjoy it and welcome to the BlackBerry family. I have the Storm.

[ghostsofgiants]

36. I am really looking forward to the Niagra.

The only Blackberries I had been interested in was the Storm or the Bold. The Storm apparently sucks, and the Bold isn't available from my carrier. The Niagra will be, though. :D

[Seeking Serenity]

37. No, thanks. I tend to avoid the new rollouts.

I'm happy to wait until a product has been out there long enough to have most of the bugs worked out of them.

[DS1]

12. What are your monthly bills looking like/going to look like?

I'm considering picking up a second phone, since my current mobile is provided by my day job and I can't exactly be putting that number out on biz cards for another company

[Seeking Serenity]

14. The total monthly bill for the fam should be around $90 plus taxes

We'll see if it holds to that.

[DS1]

16. So that's more than one person?

[Seeking Serenity]

17. Yes. DH, one child, and me.

That's doable.

[schmuls]

21. I.m ashamed to admit I really don't know what a blackberry does

[Seeking Serenity]

24. On a basic level, like all of the smart phones,

it's just a mini-computer masquerading as a telephone.

Oh, what an amazingly advanced age we live in!

[MountainLaurel]

26. Which one do you have?

Does it have a camera, and is it Mac compatible?

[Seeking Serenity]

31. The BB Curve

Yes to camera (still and video). IDK as to Mac compatibility.

[MountainLaurel]

32. Thanks for the info!

As fate would have it, my old, little, dog-chewed iPod just died, and I'm in the market for a multiuse unit.

[Pierre.Suave]

27. Anyone that does not get an iPhone

is Dead To Me.

:P

[enigmatic]

33. I've got a BlackBerry Pearl

Welcome to the Cult! :D

[SallyMander]

35. Are you hooked on BrickBreaker yet?

If not, you will be, beware! :D
