however this doesnt distract from the fact when working they are brilliant phones! but u might aswel splash out on the iphone in all honesty. the apple support is soo much better when things do go wrong!
So you're one of the useless cunts at vodafone that pass me through 7 people to get to the person i want

BB support has been brilliant for me, i've just been given new ones when mine went wrong, the storms, are utter shit, but my new bold is brilliant and hasn't let me down whereas almost everyone I know with iphones have has problems with them, and have had apples awesome customer service which means they have to 'book them in' so they can take them for repair, and then they're without a phone for weeks/months...

I dont have pics on my N86 either when browsing on here, its because pf is on mobile version for mobiles, but some mobiles can run the full desktop version.

But i asked last year why they dont take away the mobile version completly because this day in age most mobile phones can run the full desktop website easily.

remember that blackberrys are aimed at the business market, to the average consumer whos looking at stuff like nokia N series, iphone, etc. they look a little crap.

when you enter the corporate world tho its a whole different ballgame, they are a complete enterprise solution.

i personally use a 9700 (Bold2) and it's a very good device.

storms are TURD, avoid.

the 8520s are very cheap n cheerful, we get em for something like 50quid each sim-free! :P still, very good entry level blackbrrys and we give em to all our normal punters now.

the storms are SHITE, avoid like the plague!


basiclaly imho if you want a business email device, and especially if you are a corprate consumer using the BES products, blackberry is a nobrainer over the competition.

if youre a consumer that wants an iphone competetor, look elsewhere this is not for you.

LOL TBH it doesnt suprise me, blackberrys are so damn overly complicated on our systems compared to anything else, espec the iphone which is sooo much better to diagnose faults with. they are a right nightmare to deal with the most simple of issues

ye its gotta be back 3 times within 3 months for an exchange to happen unfortunetly. but dont get a BB next time as, as i said 90% are all returned to us, unreliable pieces of crap and theres nothing u can do it that you cant on other mobiles TBH
