Yes it would. Im not a big fan of windows mobile phones, with my blackjack, i had to powercycle at least once a day because it would give me problems. The only thing is all the Blackberry's are 2G, the BlackJack is 3G. So if you want to take advantage of our 3G network for faster internet go with the Blackjack. I brought my Blackjack with me to Miami when I went on my cruise so I could use 3G, Puerto Rico has 3G too.

well im in the middle of the woods Pennsylvania we don't have 3g. we just got decent reception maybe a year ago.

But yea im defiantly going with a curve or pearl now. I like the design of the peal but the key pad looks like it would be difficult to type on?

I just need a phone with decent internet service because no way am i going to pay 50 cents a minute in the internet cafe on the ship..or of course theres the 100 dollar for 150 minute plan....um no.

Oh is the txting plans the same for blackberry? I think I have the 250 messages a month now.. thats plenty for me.

And Im on a family plan. Would my monthly service rate (voice plan) change too?

off subject but funny..my last cruise to the Bahamas I was on the phone every ...
(continues)

Go with a curve full the qwerty keyboard. I'm not a big fan of the pearls keyboard. The curve definitly shows promise though...

shows promise?

Well it just came out. I haven't had a chance to fully play around with the phone. Thats all I mean.

oh lol. Im completely new to blackberrys/blackjacks/raspberrys lol so I dont know much about them. Im used to my sony Ericsson's.

the curve is brand new, but i've been using it since it came out and it's a great phone. The battery life is also MUCH better than you'll get from the BlackJack.

yea ive heard terrible things about the blackjacks battery life. i dont know. i still like the design of the pearl.

I have the pearl rite now, its one sexy phone.

And the typing on the Pearl isnt as bad as people claim it to be. It has "SureType" so it fixes a lot of what u type and corrects it. Basically, you just type normally, and it will lead u to the right word.

Also, the Pearl features autotext so that the phone adapts to words that you use regularly, and adjusts your typing accordingly.

From someone who went from a Se w810i to a Pearl, its a good move. The only thing i miss, is the multimedia capabilities of the sony ericsson.

so basically its like typing with T9 (which i hate) well right now the curve and pearl are the same price..and being the curve has a better key pad im thinking im going to go with the curve..because one of the big reasons I want a blackberry is for the key pad so I want the best one. As for the multimedia features of the w810..i can live with out them. thats what my ipod is for. the camera is good as a back up..but id rather use my 6mp hp camera.

have they changed how they display links in email yet or does it still show up as the html and not a link?

well if "the box" sells it every day hes obviously not lieng .. ill let you 2 settle this one lmao.

wrong check opus 29.99 under the pda plans its unlimited personal use not for a biz for a regular customer

That one has 20 MB in the Central Region. It is not unlimited. In what region are you located.

dc/baltimore and great lakes

well i need unlimited.

everyday in a cor store in opus 29.99 pda
inlimited personal.. go to a core store and ask . per the vp of our market its there and it works i know and you get the rebate for it . for that matter if you read the rebate yuo can get 19.99 unlimited text and get the rebate

what rebate are you talking about?

the 100 dollar one

i don't know man. i work in cor and i checked csp and opus before posting, just to make sure, and it's only 20 megs. not unlimited for 29.99.

i dont know man its here i would screen shot it but id get fired

hey box. pm me. i can give you my cuid and we can talk through work email.

If you have it, it would have to be market specific.

The new rebate form for our market (June 6ish) says you need the $19.99 Messaging Xtreme Plan plus Voice of $39.99 or higher, or a PDA Personal Plan or a $39.99 or higher unlimited data rate plan. The PDA Personal Plan is a new addendum to the rebate forms, and by that wording the $29.99 plan would make it eligible, however, that's only a 20MB package in the Central regions. The feature is PDPA.

I think the feature that BOX is talking about is market specific to his region. Rumors from both inside and out (i think boy genius has an article on it) were that at&t would reduce the price of the PDA connect unlimited to 29.99. In the NYC/PHilly market they have come out with a PDA Per plan that includes unlimited PDA connect with 1500 messages - the cost - 39.99. But the standard PDA connect still also costs 39.99 - makes sense doesn't it? Anyways, with the rollout of the 39.99 plan w/ 1500 messages, it just makes sense that sooner or later they will rollout a 29.99 PDA connect unlimited. Just like with the other packages, the 39.99 would be the unlimited plus $10 extra for 1500 messages. Just my two cents....

Sounds like you are talking about the Blackberry All4 plan not pda connect.

No, I'm talking about the PDA connect. Right now, as far as i know, it is only in the NYC/Philly markets, but there is a plan with unlimited PDA connect and 1500 messages for 39.99, yet the standard PDA connect w/ no messaging is also 39.99.

The Code that shows on the customer's bill is PDA39, while the standard PDA Connect w/o messaging shows as PDAUNL on a customer's bill.

PDVU pda connect is going away in a week

most likely the pda plans will mirror the bb plans

pdph = pda max- 39.99 unl data + 1500 msg

pdvu = pda connect - 39.99 unl data- no text.

pointless...

also unlimited data and text pda and bb plans roll out next week
