Ok first and important thing i wanna say is that i live in serbia!
Here i know 5 people that have BB!
I called my mobile operater to ask for setting to set up my 8310 curve services and get answer that there is no settings for that phone in my network!There is some talks about using BIS in my network but it cost me like mine standard bill for one month!
I used all kinds of smartphones from Nokia symbian,HTC (trinity),palm...And never get what expect for some normal prize!
Long time i was user of SonyEricsson P1i but i needed GPS,than i get HTC p3600 and realise that i need keyboard,boguht Nokia n82 (GPS,gr8 camera 5Mpix) but than i realised i need qwerty keyboard,now i have BB 8310!
It has gps,normal camera,qwerty but he use internet connection (that i don`t have now) and 90% of it`s apps are net related!
Can`t use GPS,browser,IM clients,BB messenger,BIS,BES...
I`am not business man but i love to have good piece of hardware in my hand,and now asking you guys is it worth to pay for that BIS service in my country?I really wanna use GPS and need it,that one on HTC was gr8,didn`t use net connection,fast,stabile!I wanna try my Curve to give him chance...
It may not be right for you. No one is going to convince you to do it. A two year contract is not unusual. If you don't want the contract, then find another device.
I know that sms r going to be past in a few years,and that bb gives to us technology from the future,but i don`t have many people in my envoirment who use this kind of devices
