Quote from: Dylan on July 03, 2009, 09:05:48 pmOne problem with these alwaysontheinternetphones is that when you go on holiday remember to take another phone. I managed to turn mine onto airplane mode rather than off. I realised when I landed in Paris and switched it off immediately but was still billed £5 If you have the 'data connection when roaming' option turned off this shouldn't happen right? I need to get to the bottom of this before heading to the states so I don't get charged loads!

as for applications, its the best thing for it.

Additionally, Blackberry is architected to send only the first kb - i.e. the header and first couple of lines only. When you open the message and scroll down, only then does it fetch the rest.
Actually no tech fans, its either! Think of it like this - Blackberry NOC (network operations thing, or relay to you and I) does the IMAP or POP bit, but still it doesnt send the header, it squishes it into its special format (UCS as memory serves) then it just sends that down, so whether you are IMAP, POP, MAPI (whatever!) it still only does that first KB. And thats what you pay for - the relay processing and squishing your messagio.
Traditionally speaking blackberry was great for corporates but not so good for consumers - because of the subscription.
Hey there are far worse gadget freaks than me you know.If it's a phone you want to use for work and managing work emails then a BB would be the at the top of most peoples lists. If it was for personal use though I'd choose the iPhone every time. I use a BB for work but am seriously tempted to buy a new iPhone for my own use.

I ended getting an iPhone 3GS for personal use and it has exceeded my expectations in termsof features, performance and apps. I run a Mac wireless network at home mind with a mini attached to the Tele and NAS drive with 3 airports around the house so I can now use the phone to wirelessly play music from the NAS to Lounge, Kitchen and bedroom. I have a MobileMe account and can access all my remote files from the phone. The camera is better than expected with great post-processing apps and upload to Flick or mobile me and has a low-fi feel to it that adds a bit of character. The Wordpress app is great for blogging and Tweetie do The browser is super quick but doesnt run Flash. Tweetie does everything a Twitter app should. On Saturday I DJ'd at a party and played a couple of live improve using Beatmaker through my mixer and I've just watched a Harvard Lecture on iTunes. Battery life could be better and the call quality could be improved but otherwise it's a fantastic little machine and I'm pleased I waited til the 3GS to cough up for one.
