Blackberry Phone

[kd_entertainments]

Hi Folks

As 99% of my enquiries are via email, I have deceided to buy myself a blackberry!

I would highly recommend them as i can answer enquiries / provide quotations anywhere anytime. Which means that potential clients are impressed with the speed of my response.

I used to have a mountain of emails everynight to come home to and spend quite a lot of time on the laptop. For only £8.59 ontop of my o2 tariff its well worth the money!

Does anyone else use one? and What do you think?

I got one and have been using one since 18 months ago. I'm on my second one now. I got the 8900. Great phones imo.

I send about 80% of my replys via my blackberry as most of the time I am not near a computer.

I pay £30 a month for my phone and that included the 200mb data transfer aswell. :D

You have to pay extra to send and receive emails on a Blueburry? None of that with apple :confused:

Ah but it IS push as opposed to pull.

Mind you, if my pocket "bonged" more than once every 15 minutes I'd never get anything done :p

iPhone all the way. Beautifully integrated with Gmail and Gcal. Simples.

Explain push email for me could you Martin?

I have pop3 email and hotmail configured on my phone to check every 5 minutes - what is the difference please?

The difference is 4 minutes 59 seconds if an email is sent to you just after you checked your mailbox. Push does just that, pushes the email to your phone (like a text does). Pull is you having to check your mailbox(es) to retrieve the email.

The push service is provided by rim

The choice of bis for pop 3 / imap accounts

or bes for exchange servers

It also compress's the mail before sending it out to the device

You can get them for the Strawberry also. FOC.

I prefer to use the built in software with the phone which is just linked up to outlook.
