you too

bump!

Absolutely

Absolutely what?

Really hard to say whether one should upgrade to the 8800 or not since all we have so far is rumor and conjecture. I need to see it actually out there in use and then I shall decide.

I think it is a little more than rumor by now

Indeed , but too most it's still a rumor.

Whatever let them think what they want

My contract with Tmo on 7105t is almost up. I had been considering getting the Pearl. Nice features on the Pearl. And I am use to Suretype, so no problem there. The only thing wrong for me is the camera on the Pearl. My company doesn't allow cameras, so my Pearl would be left in the car while I'm at work. That's why I am now considering the 8800 Indigo sans camera. I will wait and see. If the price is right and the features are as good as I have heard, I will get the 8800. If not, I will go with the Pearl.

if your used to suretype, than the pearl is the way to go. If your on BES, then the camera can be disabled through the IT policy. Check with your company, if your not on BES, than go with the 8800. (So you can take your phone into work)

Kevin . Wheather the camera is disabled or not its still a camera phone . Allot of workplaces do not want a pearl in their workplace. Since there is a way to activate the camera function on the 8100 after it would be disabled by bes admin . That is a primary issue with 81xx . Why do you think most still work with 7xx or 87xx or 7xxx's?
The indigo is made for the workplace.

Dude, it depends on the place. Some might let you in if it is disabled, and some might not.

Most corporate offices do not allow the pearl . The pearl is nothing more than bb's answer to the hiptop/samsung/tmobile sidekick. Disigned for the "civilian" market.

good thing i dont work for a corporate office

Yea. At my workplace the pearls are a no no . All of us use the 87xx or the "upgraded version" that is camera free.

Sure... I though you used the you know what...

Correct. But "that" is a company phone . My own toy is the 8700. But honestly I'm not impressed my my work phone . I might as well go back to nokia 8803.

I dont believe a word out of your mouth now! You said only 3 people were testing "these" new phones. You also said you loved the new phone. And you told me that your "toy" was already the nokia 8803. What are you going to tell me next?

Actually . As of yesterday its only two people. Firmware failure. My for my nokia 8803 its semi retired . Due to me relying on the bb too much. And you are right I did love the "new" one . But I had issues with it .major ones that made me dislike it .and please watch what you post.and regarding beliving me , I never asked you to.

well damn, make ur mind up. one day you love it, and the next u dislike it

Lol if it was not for thr collection of issues I would love it . Now the sim from the toy is in the nokia . Bes in a nokia ? Won't happen.

I can't imagine a Blackberry with a Camera or not having the scroll wheel. And smaller keys? and mirrored surfaces? I don't know. I will definately get the 8800 because of sheer curiosity but something tells me I may end up not keeping it long if it doesn't satisfy me more than what I have now.

When I first got the 8700c I got rid of it after a day because it had far less style and quality than my tmobile-7290. Even though the software and technology was better, the case was too much like a $5.00 pocket calculator for my liking so I stayed with my 7290 until the 8700g came out.


Plus, there seems to be a tons of copy-cat Blackberries that all look just as stylin' and that new Treo looks awesome-but I'm no sell out. Unless RIM sells us out first with the 8800!

Honestly , from my point of view rim is becoming a selout. There is a lot of money to be had from the yonger genaration . Tgat are tierd of their side kicks . I see more kids with treo's or bb's . Bb is just trying to ride it out. And forgeting about their core market.

Ya. I am a kid, kind of [19 years old], and I used a sk2 for 2 years and I got so sick of it so I got an MDA, hated that and got a BB and loved it! I hit the ground running and havent looked back ever since!

My point , exacly ,Kevin. I see so many 15 year olds with bb's in the city. .anhattan ,ny to be technical. The only sereous appeal of bb's to the younger generation is because of the I'm feature and qwerty keyboard and the qeb ofcource. Bb is starting to make money with it the pearl is a test run that's all because of the suretype.

Exactly, my little brother has a pearl and he is 15 years old. (I bought it for him lol, not like he had a choice ) He loves it for the email, texts, phone, web, and IM. Havent heard anything but good out of his mouth about the pearl. Of course I hold a gun to his head when I ask if he likes it

My point exacly . Hell, I go to a skate park upstate ny when I have time . And all I see is every other young skater iether has a sidekick an mda or the bb.

I am always at the skatepark, just to skate, and not only do i see kids with sidekicks and bb's, one time i saw a little 8 year old smoking weed!!! i took it from his mouth and threw it on the ground and smashed it with my foot and said "if you ever f**king smoke this stuff again, ill hunt you down, and kick your @$$". damn that pissed me off, sorry ill stop lol.

One , gotta llove the lone star state. Two as long as I don't hear a nextel chirp while I'm trying to heal flip to fakie . I'm good . And three. Were getting off topic.

im getting one to beta test when they come to the beta testing market. i cant wait. probaly be able to get one 60 days before they are released or maybe even sooner

one, dont tell me what to do. two, im glad i dont hear a nextel chirp when i heal flip because nextel, imo, stinks. and three, dont talk to me (you know why )

Beta testing of the 88xx's is about to be over.

I hope, The CellularSouth Can hook up this phone like 8800, also I need touch and play first.. Why not, they can add for a camera built in it ? I cant waiting to hear about that for update ..

regarding one and three , all I can say is lmfao . And please lay off the drama .

Wow, only took you a whole day to think of that comeback?

one , I do not check the forum on the daly basis. And two I have a life and a very busy one in fact. also I have better things to do than to play tag with a kid that has not seen his shrink for a WHOLE week.

I have a life too, checking it once a day for 5 mins aint that bad. sorry to say, right when i posted that you responded right away. Whatever i am done with you old man

Its called and automatic notification via email. Ie I'm subscribed to the tread,dummy. Two you're confusing "old" with "mature". Three, didn't you say that you will stop talking with me "like four days ago, or so"? And fyi I'm under 30. Cya,junior.

One, I know your subscribed, duh! But if you were so "busy" you wouldn't have time to check it. Two, ya I said I would stop talking to you a while ago but you said something so I responded. Three, I am not confusing nothing with nothing, did you forget to take your pills? Ya your under 30 if you divide by two. Why don't you go get your cane and beat yourself until you become a dillusional lier, oh wait you already are
