Next Verizon Blackberry? -
04-27-2009, 10:22 AM
What is the next Blackberry that is going to be coming out for Verizon? I've read reports that the Niagara could be coming out as early as May, but I've also seen some contradicting reports as well.

If what I read is correct, the Tour is a World Edition phone with a camera correct? I would definitely upgrade from my 8830 for this. Plus it appears that the keys have a little space between them, that is a little aggravating for me, the 8830 keys are too close for my fat fingers.

3.2 MP camera a nice upgrade.. Was this officially announced at WES?
For the first time I feel the future might hold something different for me. It's possible I'm fooling myself but I'm willing to take the risk.

It will be a great update.. It will be great to get one of these next gen BB's (with a physical keyboard  ) but more and more applications are beginning to start using Wifi... I really hope we can get wifi on CDMA sometime soon.
But I would definitely upgrade to the 9630!!

With the exception of the 8350i. They released a version with and one without a camera.

Some business and many government facilities forbid carrying a camera. When your phone is a camera creates a problem. |

The problem with this approach is that unless you have a corporate blackberry you cant take advantage of that feature. Additionally, a lot of places I have seen won't accept "the camera is disabled".
I can't understand why RIM is approaching phones this way. The currently have the in with government phones as most government agencies are providing Verizon blackberries to their employees. It seems they are ignoring a large segment of their market share by not creating a new camera-less phone for Verizon. I would think Verizon would be pushing this as well.

I've heard some talk of providing different backs for the blackberries that cover up the camera.

I could see that.. but I imagine employers will still have a problem with it.
Depending how strick they are.

Change your Company Policy on Cameras -
05-14-2009, 06:49 PM
I was able to successfully convince my company (1200 person Defense Contractor) to change its policy on Phones with Cameras.
We instituted an "Acceptable Use Policy" for Phones with Cameras.
Employees are allowed to have Phones with Cameras but are not allowed to use the camera on company property for any reason. Violation can lead to dismissal.
Visitors are not allowed to have Phones with Cameras for any reason.
Neither Phones, or Phones with Cameras are allowed in "classified" areas.

The same policy applies at the nuke plant where I work. Visitors are not allowed camera phones, but employees are, but may not use the camera inside the protected area.

Well I am tired of waiting on Verizon! My 8830 was due last fall and I tried the Storm - which I returned. I have made fun of the iPhone as not a true business device - but I may be eating my own words. My son left our family plan 3 months ago to get an iPhone and his coverage is as good as my Verizon (looks like to much time telling us about the network and to little time get phones out). Plus with AT&T they have had the Bold for a while and I keep hearing the Tour will be out early 2009, then May now July - please. So with the iPhone web browser and direct connection to Exchange I am going to be a trader! Don't hate me I have loved my BBs, but I am tired of waiting on Verizon and will also go with the iPhone!

To each their own
If I were due for an upgrade soon, I would definitely pick up a Tour. But, my bank account disagrees with that choice for at least a while yet. |
